If World ID becomes one of Reddit’s third-party providers, it would be good news for Tools for Humanity, which was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.

What the actual fuck.

Seriously how on Earth is that supposed to work?

Lemmy gonna get crowded soon

Pondering my deleting my reddit account again

They can scan these nuts

they already have too much info from their users, same as facebook… years ago things like this were heavily rejected (like PIPA act when the SOPA almost happened)

They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones. We do not know who else may be watching.

Lmao No

I would not ponder this orb

Adam ruined reddit.

(Go with me on the joke, reddit was ruined long long time ago. Adam did an endorsement of Orb a few weeks back, got called out and did an apology.)

I’M STILL BLAMING CONOVER THO

So much of what creating privacy busting biometric databases claim to do could be accomplished with speed-of-light geofencing, a.k.a. “distance-bounding protocol”. If a moderator decides messages from country X are problematic, then they can flag/block them for other users. It only requires carefully measuring ping times and basically involves banning traffic from places that can’t achieve certain minimum pings to certain trusted servers.

I’m sorry Dave, I can’t let you post that.

And you need to donate a kidney.

Hey, it’s reddit, it’ll be worth it to see all those ai bots talk to eachother, Right?

These companies are really seeing how far they can get away with shit. It’s mind blowing.

So this guy helps create a technology that turns bots up to 11 and then he turns around to sell us a privacy invasive solution to the problem he created? What a fucking asshole.

… and they’re gonna need a bone marrow sample to verify
