I don't think it makes sense to include Juicero in the list. There is no way that whatever Ive and Altman are cooking up is going to be as obviously stupid as Juicero.

I dunno, I'd take a glass of juice over cryptocurrency from a retina-scanning orb.
At least the creepy orb is trying to solve a problem that actually exists. Namely how do you know the guy you are talking to is a real person? And especially, how do you know the guy you are donating money to is a real person?
A glass of juice solves the problem of wanting a glass of juice... Both products solve a problem in a worse way than existing solutions.
I’ll know he’s a real person if he gives me a glass of juice.

Worldcoin is easily 10x more stupid than Juicero. A glass of overpriced juice is much more benign and far more useful than retina scams and cryptocurrency.

"There is no way" famous last words...
