The sad thing is that this really does solve a problem that GenAI is creating. Sam Altman is selling the poison as well as the cure.

I think we will eventually all need to join social networks that are guaranteed to be composed of real humans, and for that we'll need a way to prove someone is a real human. I think passports/government IDs are a good enough solution for this and we don't need to be scanning people's irises.

How does scanning someone's eyeballs help anyway? It's not unique if its stolen. Then what?

[tim333]

The purpose of the scanning is so you are limited to one account per human rather than being able to open loads. It's not used as ID after the account is open.

The plan with Worldcoin is to use these unique IDs to airdrop a UBI.

That's the marketing bullshit. It's simpler that that.

He's selling weapons to both sides, the ai bullshit spam machine gun, and the anti spam identity verification system.

He knows what he's doing.

[tim333]

I'm not sure either is quite accurate. When you get an account you get given worldcoins on a regular basis which are basically another crypto shitcoin. They have plans to use it as a payment and app ecosystem but that hasn't really taken off. The anti spam identity thing hasn't really even started either.

I think it's important to remark that this "could" help solve part of the problems associated with Generative AI. It could also, without many new laws and regulations, be used to create many new problems unique to generative AI.

Why discriminate?

[malfist]

Because ai slop is not meaningful content

[TZubiri]

And it can easily outnumber.

I think ip blocks are good enough to identify a million ai accounts, no need to do eyeballs
