Worldcoin isn’t as bad as it sounds: It’s worse
Opinion: Worldcoin is no radical new financial system, and certainly not one aimed at equality or fairness.
Worldcoin's plan to collect biometric data from poor people to bootstrap their system is unethical and raises serious privacy concerns. Their promises to protect users' data are not enough to ensure privacy and security, and linking immutable biometric traits to financial identities could enable total identity lockout with dystopian consequences. In addition, Worldcoin's token allocation favors insiders and market makers, indicating that equal distribution among all people is not a genuine goal. Overall, Worldcoin appears to be just another speculative crypto project masquerading as a radical new financial system.

Sorry, I've been out of the cryptoscam news for a while. We're doing eyeball-backed currency now? Someone invented eyeball coins? People are investing in the Orbchain?
Can we just collectively take a step back and... Not?
Don't worry, it's all for good... it's to combat the impossibility of distinguishing AI stuff from human stuff... and it's by the same guy from ChatGPT, to combat the problems caused by ChatGPT, so he knows what he's talking about... just don't worry and look here for a quick eyeball scan... 🧿💥
Thanks I feel better now. I'm glad this corporation watches over us and keeps us safe.
I love the Silicon Valley techbros lately. Their sales pitches have gone from 'we have this cool new thing' to 'we've created something that solves the problems you didn't have until we created the problem you're now dealing with!'.
Much shareholder value or something, I guess.
I think the logic is more that if AI is inevitable, might as well be the first to make a shitload of money from it.
