Copy that.
The article is bullshit click bait.
Just hell no. Sounds like a spray paint campaign is in order. I’m gonna go post this on the anarchy subs and see how they feel about it (unless you already got there first).
Baseball bats sound more effective. Make ‘em eat the costs.
Well I look forward to hearing the endless tales of people smashing the fuck out of these, and taking the hardware to figure out how to do greater damage to the entire project.
I think these would look pretty cool in my art deco living room, and they’re free too! Such a great deal ;)
“I’ve been very interested in things like universal basic income and what’s going to happen to global wealth redistribution,” Sam Altman, Worldcoin’s cofounder
Holy crap it’s Sam Altman, the CEO of OpenAI. After that recent article about his $2 Kenyan workers it’s much harder to believe in benevolent intentions.
That’s twice the minimum wage where I live.
The absolute absurdity of a news article on nefarious data collection requiring that I enable JS to read it, just so that it can load a ridiculous number of trackers.
This article described some concerning methods they used to develop and deploy the system…

So, no way in hell this could comply with GDPR then.
So this company has ties with OpenAI? That is kinda concerning …
One step closer to minority report
Yea all those futuristic dystopia and gantz.
Passersby need only gaze into its mirrored surface, whereupon the device will scan their irises and generate a unique hash or numeric code attached to their particular set of eyes. In exchange, each participant will receive a World ID and a WLD token.
What th’ . . . are you kids on _dope?!_
The article is misrepresenting the whole thing. It’s voluntary, the devices are not just randomly picking up iris scans.
Click bait at it’s finest.
