MOROS NET Launches Movement To Decentralize The Power Of AI

Dec 5, 2023

MOROS NET is a newly established movement, aiming to decentralize AI and to reshape the power imbalance that currently defines the space within the tech world. They are doing this through an ongoing grant program that is already working with two aligned initiatives.

United States - December 5, 2023 —

In an era increasingly reliant on screen-based interactions, the unprecedented developments at OpenAI and their CEO, Sam Altman, have drawn attention to the severe implications of unchecked AI power. While AI advancements do bring transformative potential, unrestricted AI authority poses an unsettling prospect.


Detractors standing at the crossroads of technology and philosophy, or so-called 'AI doomers', envision a troubling future dictated by a single entity wielding unchecked control over AI - a tool set to revolutionize our societal fabric.


The grim narrative of job loss due to AI-powered automation takes center stage, with AI's capabilities expanding with its sophistication. Both blue-collar and white-collar professions, from manufacturing to law and journalism, are vulnerable to the AI invasion. This rapid shift could have catastrophic implications for those unprepared for such disruption.


Walking hand in hand with the looming shadow of job displacement is the disturbing reality of surveillance. AI-driven facial recognition technologies champion an avenue to a surveilled state, encroaching on privacy and setting the stage for an Orwellian future.


Furthermore, the potential weaponization of AI by corrupt forces is a real concern. The concentration of such power can lead to devastating consequences, from widespread disinformation to manipulations of data and public sentiment.


Against this backdrop strides in MOROS NET, self-dubbed as the 'Radical AI Decentralization Movement'. Rather than conforming to AI’s rules, MOROS aims to reshape the landscape, challenging the power dynamic inherent within conventional AI technology.


MOROS envisions a world where power is decentralized, access to technology is democratized, and AI technology evolves as a collective endeavor. Central to this movement is the ambition to financially back projects that disrupt the AI status quo, creating an environment where technological progression doesn’t spell doom for humanity. It is doing this, in part, through grants for open source AI projects.


The pioneering MOROS Community Grant Program provides resources to projects capable of sparking change in our AI-centric reality. Their inaugural grant beneficiary, 'Shoggoth Network', is a decentralized peer-to-peer network dedicated to disseminating open-source code, machine learning models, datasets, and research papers.


The project integrates critical elements from GitHub and HuggingFace, contributing to the open-source community and driving AI democratization. By eradicating centralized data control, Shoggoth safeguards against censorship and upholds the freedom of expression.


Fanning the flames of this revolutionary movement, MOROS has elected Alignment Lab as the second grant awardee. This ambitious project aims to develop personal models capable of interpreting and responding to user inputs with a deep level of understanding and expressiveness. Leveraging affordable local hardware, Alignment Lab brings us one step closer to comprehensive user interaction with AI models, underscoring MOROS's commitment to challenging conventional AI power structures.


In addition to stimulating radical projects, MOROS maintains a fervent stance in the battle for an educated global community. Its exclusive collection of free courses, ranging from data literacy to Python coding, lights a guiding torch for those lagging in the race of technological advancement.


Through its actions, MOROS outlines a path that counteracts the prophecy of an impending AI apocalypse. By financing groundbreaking projects and making education accessible, they reassure those intimidated by the looming specter of AI domination.


Defying the narrative of a dystopian future in the hands of an elite minority, MOROS ensures that AI's future is dictated by the collective. As the world fixes its gaze on the evolution of AI, MOROS is penning a story of relentless resilience - delivering the message that the future is ours to shape. It seems that the revolution has just begun.

Watsons takes holistic approach to Filipinos’ diabetes care

WORLD Diabetes Day is held annually on Nov. 14, but the entire month of November is a dedicated period on “Early action on diabetes,” which emphasizes early diagnosis, risk reduction for Type 2 diabetes and timely access to care. Among Filipinos, an estimated 4.7 million adults are living with diabetes, and more than half remain undiagnosed, making it a significant health concern in the country. According to the latest Philippines Statistics Authority data, diabetes mellitus is the fifth leading cause of death in the Philippines at 5.9 percent – after ischaemic heart diseases such as coronary heart disease/heart attacks which accounted for 21.2 percent of registered deaths of 23, 448 from January to March 2026; neoplasms or cancers, representing roughly 9.9 percent of deaths; cerebrovascular diseases or strokes at 9.6 percent; and pneumonia at 8.0 percent. Diagnosis — only the beginning Managing diabetes requires daily commitment — from taking prescribed medications and monitoring blood sugar to making lifestyle adjustments and attending regular checkups. As the country’s leading health and wellness retailer, Watsons believes diabetes care must extend beyond the numbers. Through its six-month Diabetes Educator Program, Watsons equips pharmacists with specialized training in diabetes management, patient counseling, and health education. These trained pharmacists serve as accessible healthcare resources, helping customers understand their prescribed treatments, properly use blood glucose monitoring devices, recognize early signs of diabetes, and know when to seek medical attention. By providing practical guidance and addressing everyday concerns, they help make diabetes care more manageable and accessible. “Diabetes management goes beyond keeping blood sugar levels in check. It requires early detection, proper medication, healthy lifestyle choices, regular monitoring and attention t overall health, including blood pressure and cholesterol. Patients should also understand their condition, develop healthy coping habits, and work closely with their healthcare team. With the right knowledge, consistent self-care, and support, patients can reduce their risk of complications and enjoy a better quality of life,” said Dr. Fatma Tiu, president of Diabetes Philippines Inc. Beyond physical health, Watsons also recognizes the emotional challenges of managing a lifelong condition. Patients may experience stress, frustration, or uncertainty as they balance treatment with everyday responsibilities. Having access to knowledgeable healthcare professionals who can listen, provide guidance, and encourage appropriate medical support can make a meaningful difference in their journey. Care solutions To support customers’ varying healthcare needs, Watsons offers a wide range of diabetes care solutions, including prescription medicines, vitamins, blood glucose monitoring supplies and specialized personal care products. Customers can also access free teleconsultation services inclu­ding specialized weight management consultations, by calling 7919-9999. For more accessible monitoring, Blood Glucose Checks are available for only P30 at Watsons, alongside other in-store health services. “The real challenge in managing long-term health isn’t just clinical; it’s human. When someone navigates diabetes care, every choice and every routine carries daily weight. As a trusted healthcare partner, our role extends far beyond the pharmacy shelf. We are reshaping community-based support so that expert guidance, preventive screening, and ongoing care become seamlessly integrated into everyday life, helping ensure no patient feels like they have to navigate their health journey in isolation,” Watsons Philippines Managing Director Danilo Chiong said. Customers can visit their nearest Watsons store for pharmacist guidance and diabetes care essentials or download the Watsons App to explore the wide range of products and services available.

Among the highlights is the return of Snow Fairy, the brand’s popular bubblegum and candyfloss fragrance first introduced in 2005. This year’s collection features the signature scent in 20 product types, including the new packaging-free shower gel. The fragrance remains one of the brand’s biggest seasonal attractions, with Lush Manufacturing producing more than 5.5 million Snow Fairy products worldwide in 2025. For bath lovers, the new collection includes Christmas-themed bath bombs and bubble bars, with options ranging from candy-scented bubbles to products inspired by a calming Arctic escape. The lineup also includes gentler bathing products for sensitive skin. Bath bombs have been part of Lush’s identity since co-founder Mo Constantine invented the product in her garden shed in 1989.
