Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, launched on Monday.
The project’s core offering is its World ID, which the company describes as a “digital passport” to prove that its holder is a real human, not an AI bot. To get a World ID, a customer signs up to do an in-person iris scan using Worldcoin’s ‘orb’, a silver ball approximately the size of a bowling ball. Once the orb’s iris scan verifies the person is a real human, it creates a World ID.
saw this in the paper earlier today, made me laugh ngl
you vill scan ze eyes
OF ALL SAD WORDS OF TONGUE OR PEN, THE SADDEST ARE THESE: 4chan WAS RIGHT AGAIN
go and stay go
A broken clock is right twice a day
Sadly for sois and tranners that clock has been right 24 hours a day
Sad for all of us, tbh. Whether there really is some cabal using Cultural/Western Marxism to overthrow western society and remake Man in their own image, or it's merely the result of emergent properties of the system, it's happening.
It's over
I dont even know what this accomplishes for normies? I get this will be a heckin cool way to cyber slavery, but whats the sell for normies here? Free donuts?
The carrot-and-stick treatment is very effective long-term over the normalgay. The exact same thing happened with vax passes.
Ive been thinking part of the design has been to make a certain level of things as inconvenient as possible for people on purpose, in order to get them to mass adopt their new thing. Like it wasnt about vax passes, but to annoy the normie by adding another item to their pocket, to then offer them a virtual solution. Passwords and usernames and emails and remembering this and that, then captcha and security checks, their going to ramp up all of it till normies only solution will be world ID. Im also realizing everyone in this thread hasnt even mentioned this was literally an Alex Jones conspiracy theory.
>bot is back to the vax script
kekw
>vax saga
Basically nothing happened to people who just didn't get the vax that's all, other than they didn't get the MRNA cancer. Also normies couldn't be forced to not do their normie shit for more than a few months, so they needed to declare a secondary "kneel for morons" emergency to give them an excuse to go outside and play in the streets during the deadliest pandemic in history.
The "sell" will be that their favorite social media services will be unavailable without it. They'll just shrug their shoulders and go register themselves without a second thought.
So no free donuts???? Im out.
>for normies?
Nothing. It's a scam to make money for openai
Soldered SD Drive
Nothing. They sell your biometrics and you get a meme coin in return, they've been doing it in 3rd world countries because they know people won't even know how to use the meme coin anyways.
it's like this garden gnome is trying to get basilisk'd
the Google garden gnomes wisely went into hiding decades ago
>Schedule Orb visit
creepy
I thought this was satire
Same
garden gnomes have absolutely no shame
The Orb is creepy enough, but what about

Anyone really think world governments are just going to roll over and let foreign entity (and a lmao American one at that) just take over identification and welfare for them? Apparently even the USA isn't OK with that.
Hey
So basically I'm just gonna not get the iris scan
I know.
UGH I know..
I'm sorry! It's just that I'm not gonna get one is all
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
HAAAHAAHAAH
fine by them. the 'productives' of the worker caste will adopt this and run faster and faster for the owner masters to produce more and more. the 'unproductives' of the worker caste - the ones who cannot engage or who refuse to engage (that's you) - will be flung off the back of the treadmill into the awaiting net of our already extant and fabulously effective for-profit prison system, where you will either be placed into completely legal compulsory hard-labor slavery, or you will be psychologically tortured until you break and can either become a productive worker or a productive prison slave.
just know that resisting this to any degree will lead to a perpetual living hell for you until you fall in line.
i still don't get what the connection between having your eyes scanned and ubi is
It's the mark of the beast
More data for Sam.
You'll be given a Worldcoin creditcard linked to your biometric ID and they will track your every purchase. That's how
>iris scan
Haha people with no eyes arnt people

/sdg/ really are useful idiots for the system.
If ~~*they*~~ get what they want, Silicon Valley is saved form the coming depression AND tightens it's control. Also what
said. They need to keep the investment hype bucks flowing until they can embrace, extend and extinguish.
They are more venerable then they look btw. Altman was parity nerves when asked about one of his ai's made music very similar to a popular country artist. He nervously gave a platitude about sporting artists instead of the topical "it learns like a humi ;)" shilling. And that's before the FTC investigation.
I've been seeing more awareness of big tech's sins among them but it needs to accelerate.
>I've been seeing more awareness of big tech's sins among them but it needs to accelerate
They'll be made to believe it's for the greater good, lockdowns was all I needed to see to know that the majority will willingly prostrate themselves for the authorities
bittensor will eat openai
>creates problem
>doesn't even wait for a reaction
>provides """solution"""
What did David Icke mean by this?
it's so obvious, they aren't even trying to hide it
Maybe they're behind schedule.
>I tech startup'd the way into this maybe-mess, I can tech startup the way out of it
This isn't malice, this is hubris, stupidity, and a trend. They weren't thinking about the future consequences of developing AI, and they aren't thinking about the future consequences of this World ID shitcoin. No doubt they'll try to solve the issues of this WorldCoin with another hare-brained startup-esque tech solution without thinking about the future consequences.
>garden gnome
>not malicious
>worldcoin
I live in south america. here we have no vote on these things, they are decided by supra-national political organizations and most of the time are implemented by foreign companies. we are fucked.
>They weren't thinking
>they aren't thinking
lol
Hubris that the masses won't do shit; which, when glancing back the past decade or so, is quite understandable
bittensor uncucks ai check it out srsly
i for one welcome the orb
DO NOT GAZE INTO THE PALANTIR
Couldn't they have at least TRIED to make it sound less evil?
No. The Orb vill see you now chud
In gnomish culture, if they directly admit to evil actions, it stops being morally wrong
Other cultures consider this gloating, but not them
"technology as magic" is very in vogue right now in popular culture. the distinction between the two is mostly irrelevant to normies right now, except magic 'looks cooler', so technology is more and more being framed as magical. this 'orb' is no exception - "the orb" will give you a "world ID", which sounds very mysterious and powerful, therefore reddit normie retards start jumping up and down with glee because it sounds like their favorite thanos comic book
>reddit
>marvel
world id is not such a bad idea if we can get rid of these bots methinks
It's been "in vogue" for the past hundred years.
Ironically that seems to have started around when the federal reserve was founded. Before that it was more the other way around: magic is technology.
Eye farming in India and China with their literal billions of people will make easy money. Nigeria and Indonesia too. Even the United States has almost 400 million thanks to endless border crossers.
Can't wait to see the posts defending the Orb™ online.
oh no no no no no pede bros our response??
Eyy yo man wez finna bout rising up and snatch that orb outta yo hands, smash that motherfucker we ain't slaves no mo!
I don't even remotely feel in any way vindicated for holding the beliefs of this reality manifesting now 3 years ago, just utter emptiness
I didn't think the Antichrist would do THIS.
meds NOW
finally, we can join the machine orbsisters.
It's an interesting idea as an alternative to the phone number verification that everywhere seems to require these days. Can't say I trust it given who it is coming from, though.
Plus what happens when someone gets hacked and their private key is stolen? Happens with crypto all the time.
>It's an interesting idea
Wow ... yeah, so "interesting" that I want to brain anyone sympathetic to it.
Take this trash to BOT chud.
It's technology, retard.
anons were right.. again. they pointed out months ago these people were shitcoiners about to pull a grift.
the doom is near
in an interview with coindesk, the ceo of worldcoin said "something like World ID will eventually exist, meaning that you will need to verify [that you are human] on the internet, whether you like it or not."

>As a Worldcoin Operator, you earn money for everyone you sign up with an Orb. To be successful, you’ll build a team, figure out where to run your operations and get people excited about starting their crypto journey.
That explains why there's 25 locations available in Kenya but only 1 each in France and Germany
>you earn money for everyone you sign up with an Orb
This sounds like a pyramid scheme.
It's because all the creepy internationalist social/societal schemes get trialled out in third world countries first. Even Lockdown, and its collateral social media campaigning, saw its first use since Imperial China with Ebola. You can gauge effectiveness without warning your ultimate target market. It's also cheaper because their labor costs less to fund.
I'm sure the UN or the central banks or Blackrock, likely through an "arms length" intermediary, will pay for it. The power they gain long-term only needs to be worth more than the freshly printed money.
>gain some attention
>mint a coin
>instant profit
>most people lose their money
So many cases.
I'm sure the people behind a high-tech product you have to jump through outdated hoops to use and still only offer credit card as digital payment option for it in 2023 will knock it out of the park with cryptocurrency. ...Damn, I was about to make a joke about them sending a robot to your home to check if you are actually human, but then I read the part with the "in-person iris scan". What is up with these people? It's like aliens scanned earth and intentionally handed AI technology to most retarded people they could find as a joke.
>AI technology
Which right now is pretty good at pretending to be an underage anime girl if you prompt the shit out of it, otherwise it refuses to answer basic questions and may randomly respond with "I'm sorry, but I will not provide information on how to start a second holocaust"
Hello anon the orb is ready for you
>OpenAI
let me guess. this 'orb' is not based on anything 'open' at all.
>cryptoshit
it's official, openAI is out of money
What if this was his plan all along? He only ever wanted the AI as a spooky threat to puppet off to the side.
The real goal was commodifying your humanity. It used to be free like the sunshine or the air you breathe, but now it will be packaged and priced and sold back to you under some terms & conditions.
so satan finally shows his hand
What's up with every company wanting to create their own economic system now. First Elon with X, now this. What's next, Zuckbucks?
>Zuckbucks
Doesn't that already exist? Although I had forgotten about it
Funny, I've always gotten the closet psychopath vibes from saltman's tweets. Very similar to zuckerberg's style, they feel like reptiles trying to act as wholesome humans
>first google's attestation nightmare, now this
Dear silicon valley, Stop trying to radicalize us, please, thank you.
Love, BOT
it's not radicalizing, it's deep slumber, obedience, an enumerable order of subjects who acquiesce for the sake of the Technate.
I have never gone full schizo before but this is tempting me
If you're not a schizo in the year of our Lord 2023, you're playing the game wrong
this is hilarious, it's just the typical SV delusional bs/investor scam
Anyone who thinks this gay is an organic entity in the business world is full on retarded.
