World Network — previously Worldcoin — is offering anybody willing to pay a $100 deposit the chance to buy and operate one of its controversial eye-scanning orbs — but details behind the financial incentives remain murky.
This whole idea is not just dystopian but really fucking stupid.
What is it about tech bros that a little success makes them think they’re geniuses with no bad ideas? Unsocialized A-type personality nerds are going to fuck this world up.
Yeah, biometric data is a terrible form of authentication, especially when you want to collect it at large scale and use it for an “everything” account like this.
However, World Network switched from USDC payments to paying operators with its WLD crypto token last year. Buyers from the US aren’t allowed to use WLD, so it’s unclear how they’ll be paid or whether they’ll be stuck with a token they cannot cash out.
Regardless, World Network will be hoping that it can finally add to the four orbs it currently has active in the US.
Lol
“the name ‘Worldcoin’ no longer encapsulates the mission of the project — to accelerate every human.”
LMAO How do people buy into this crap?
