Friends don't let friends get their eyeballs scanned to buy a coffee. This portable dystopia machine is Tools for Humanity's latest effort to live up to their Orwellian name. image Connoisseurs of the AI-will-end-humanity marketing hype train of a few years ago should find plenty to appreciate in an eyeball scanner framed as as a 'helpful' tool to distinguish between AI agents & humans. Or is it for that? Or maybe point of sale? Or nebulous 'verification?' The only clear thing? This device starts from a point of biometric #privacy invasion. image It sure looks to me like another effort by the company Sam Altman founded to make a global data-grab. image Just say no.

Abso-*******-lutely no way I thought facial recognition would the last #privacy-invasive software accepted by modern society at least for this century, but THIS? eyeball/retinal-esque scan for mobile human verification was not something I foresaw happening in my lifetime. What next? DNA bodily fluid extraction via blood, saliva, etc? Crazy times. nevent1qqs9nn86ykqp9ruu8qzak8zqjrswsqm2djrgwe5zcgfgu5dkgd4qkjqpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhg84rqgv
When you know more about WorldCoin, you probably will think twice before touching anything Altman related. Morality is non-existed in the game of money and power. View quoted note →

still have no clue what this company does. and why people would want to buy a device to scan the eyeballs of their friends.

just another con by a con - elegant identity theft you pay for the privilege of being scammed by a "helper" multiple times over. the subscription, the package, the storage, the access, the inevitable identity compromise, the recovery, the litigation, the exposure, the personal toll, and never ever being able to effectively protect your biometrics ever again.
an npub does not necessarily reveal who you are and so it does not even reveal if you are a human at all. Am I missing something? What makes you think the two are similar?

Ugh. I didn't listen to the whole presentation. An hour of Altman earlier this week was plenty. I have to speed him up to 2 or his voice feels unbearable.

I guess there are people who thought that Minority Report was utopian?
