What are your takes on Worldcoin?

Curious if anyone here has gone through the Worldcoin signup or orb scan process and what your thoughts are on the whole thing. I mean, we’ve reached the point where you prove you’re human not to AI yet but because of it.

I wouldn't touch that thing with a 10 foot pole. It's far too much trust to put into a company that is far too shady.
Please do not give up your biometric information up that easily. They're salespeople.
Yes, my concern as well. At the end of the day they’re still collecting something you can’t change or revoke. It’s not like resetting a password, once your biometrics are out there, that’s it.
personally i think biometrics should be treated as username not a password.
Not sure i want to give my biometrics to something Theil is even vaguely associated with.
