From Sam Altman’s Weird Eyeball Scanning Crypto Tech Comes to Minecraft:
If you haven’t heard of Worldcoin before, buckle up. Worldcoin is the OpenAI CEO’s cryptocurrency project, which aims to redistribute wealth to the people after artificial intelligence captures all the world’s money. You sign into Worldcoin with a scan of your eyeball through a giant metal orb (stay with me), so the company hopes to also become the internet’s default verification system. Users of mainstream internet platforms like Minecraft and Shopify can now “verify their humanness” with the World ID, and Altman’s vision for Worldcoin got one step closer to reality.
I miss the old tech billionaires who did questionable shit for good ol' fashioned share holder value. Capitalists, at least, I understand.
This is giving “guy stroking a cat and laughing vibes.” Real big “twisting my mustache” energy.
