Cryptocurrency: Sam Altman's AI Worldcoin: A 1984 Abomination Upon All Humankind, MUST BE STOPPED

Mon Jul 24 22:53:55 PDT 2023
Privacy and 1984 experts unanimously decry WorldCoin as
as tool if not initiated for, but absolutely ripe for, twisting into
totalitarian financial and ID permissioned and scored 1984...
"I for one am rather bullish on this, and I can't wait for their next
release AnaCoin, the one that can authenticate a person's butthole by
anally probing every citizen of earth. One person, one anus. We're all
one anus. Anus. First, the eyeballs, then the anus, be prepared. --
Internet"
Shut down worldcoin.

Sadly a lot of sheep and people who will never do any research about

same time they are willingly giving out their info to bit
corporations. This will be the same as Meta, Google etc. same shit,
different product.

I'm not even a fan of Monero, and I'm still wondering who the hell you
let their eyeballs be scanned for some random token.
Even if the giants like Microsoft and the like, who are beholden to
privacy laws as much as any corporation can be, rolled out a locking
feature requiring eye scans, I'd be wary. But at least there can be
some, if minimal, level of trust there.
But this random bullshit? Yeah, no.

Monero investors rate it like other people are going to adopt it
because of privacy concerns.
World coin shows that people do not care one little bit about privacy.

It's not though, circulating supply * price = market cap.
That's the fully diluted cap, which if 100% of supply was circulating
it would be.
Either way, it's extremely worrying and a terrible spot to invest when
99% can flood the market and dump.
The founders are circulating in a video on Twitter where they can't
even discuss distribution (likely due to US regulations) for "WORLD"
coin lol.
All around the world folks, well, except for some places due to
regulatory issues, but MOSTLY WORLD COIN!!

He literally has plans for the coin and giving it the name "world

They're lots we've seen in the space that turns out to be shit and
hope this wouldn't turn out to be another SBF. IF NOT then, I'm pretty
sure he'll build a great utility to it but that still doesn't mean. In
the future of web3, the problem we're having is the differences in
coins. They're a lot of people who are interested in Crypto but with
the complications of so many coins currently, they'll be confused of
which ones to invest in. And some has invest as well but it turns out
the coin they invest in are scam and they lose lots from it. What we
needs now isn't a new coin, we just need the one that'll stay for a
long term and build great utility behind it. Bcos no matter the new
coins idea, they're lots of people who has bring or think about it. I
just hope worldcoin succeed and won't be a pump and dump shit like
shitcoins

This feels very dystopian. I've heard accounts are being sold for as

This reminds me of all those people sending in their DNA to find their

full use they have? What will this information be used for in the
future and who else would have access to it? In the DNA example, could
it be used to decline insurance if you show a higher risk for cancer.

Notice how he's covering his eyes in the picture!? Anonymous needs to
get ahold of this guy's eye scan. The last time this type of idea was
pushed (in the UK I believe) they were able to get ahold of a digital
copy of the politician who was pushing the idea eye or thumb print.
They then published all over the internet. For some reason he quit
supporting the idea.
Applying security using something that cannot be changed is more
idiotic than most of the idiotic things coming out.

Vitalik also pointed out issues about security:
Users' phones could be hacked, users could be coerced into scanning

and there is the possibility of 3D-printing "fake people" that can
pass the iris scan and get World IDs.

Absolutely. Everyone here is completely ignoring how this thing

zero-knowledge proofs of your iris print to establish a wallet, your
actual iris scan does not go on the blockchain or ever get stored

He wants to scan our eyeballs with that so that one day in the
future, we can receive welfare from the AI that replaces human jobs.
Is it not a noble goal to replace human labor with AI and implement UBI?
Our irises are unique, meaning the WorldCoin system will be able
to prevent individuals from claiming welfare twice per distribution.
Worldcoin does not tie your identity to your Worldcoin ID, it only
establishes that you are a unique person. How do you propose that
individual people will be discriminated against in this system?
Sam Altman has been testing this in places like Kenya and Sudan
due to fewer privacy rights in those regions.
Please show sources for this claim.
Digital ID should always be self-sovereign.
The Worldcoin app is self-custodial. You control your World ID just
like any other crypto.
Biometric key-data should never leave a device. Each individual
must be able to grant or revoke access. To whom and in what detail the
records are revealed.
Allegedly, iris scans are deleted immediately after your World ID is
verified. The scans never leave the orb. I agree I would be more
comfortable if the Orb firmware was open-source and the scanee could
bring the firmware with them to the appointment and flash it
themselves, just to be safe.
Conclusion: This is a classic r/cryptocurrency moon-farming FUD post.
NO research went into this post, it's just regurgitating baseless
knee-jerk FUD because "hurr-durr, they're scanning people's eyeballs."
Worldcoin and other digital ID initiatives can be great uses of
zero-knowledge proofs, and can bring much-needed real-world use-cases
to crypto.
This is not an endorsement to buy Worldcoin, but a plea to DYOR and
allow yourself to get excited when crypto technology yields new
use-cases, rather than default to fudding anything that doesn't
directly pump your Bitcoin/moon/whatever bags.

The sad thing is WorldCoin trialed these eyeball scans in countries
like Kenya, Chile, and Uganda. This might be considered exploitation
due to the relatively small financial incentive offered to these
people for their biometric data. And there are now reports they are
selling their verified World ID accounts on the black market for just
$30.

How would that work? The point of the biometric data would be
essentially your keys, which according to everyone here, you don't
have in your possession. So wouldn't it be like selling you my ID but
instead of needing to replace the pic you have to replicate my unique
biometric data (which you can't see)...?
Also, what would anyone do with a Ugandan ID for a person who sold
their data for $30? Probably can't get a US passport or any
substantial credit...

My friend, do not ever represent yourself in court - including the
court of public opinion.
You got a downvote because you won't answer my question and continue
to provide really weird "proof" of something you sound so certain
about. I'm honestly trying to understand the project outside of this
typical r/CC adolescent knee jerk reaction. Don't worry, it won't
effect your moons.
People try and sell all kinds of stuff ... even on the spooky black
market (whatever that means to the reader). That doesn't mean much
unless people who've purchased them have successfully something or
other... And so far, it sounds like there's nothing to do. Unless you
have a link to an actual source that can illustrate that... which I
would actually really like to see because it would answer my question.

There are probably a lot of legitimate criticisms of this thing, but
at least take 5 minutes to understand how it works. Your iris is not

Adolf did to jews. Thats total control of your identity to someone
else. Whole digital ID is giving away your freedom. Its just a tragedy
to see how many people sell their identitys for someone just to be a
puppet.

This is so dark and this is not crypto. This is 1984.

Didn’t Blackrock buy Ancestry or 23&Me? So now they own all that bio
data and whatever other personal info you put on the forms? I could
see this happening with this thing too.

Many people will fall for it, which will encourage bad actors to
follow the same or similar. I want this project to fail.

Isn't china already implement your face as payment ID. To me that
implementation is a bit scary and very prone to hacking or tampering.

Add the ever increasing quality of cellphone cameras to the
narcissistic need for selfies and you have a recipe for biometric data
collection. This is not a new thing.

This Worldcoin project feels like Sam missed out on the last crypto
bull run due to busy working on ChatGPT and now that ChatGPT is
released, he wants a piece of the pie in the crypto space, so shopped
around for a project and found this.

This seems an MLM coin. Maybe these are already a thing but becoming
an orb operator sounds like building an upstream.
I was interested in the idea but here's my take on the road map
-everyone gets a share for being human (cool, I'm here for it)
-eventually we're gonna figure out how to get ai to generate money for
us and we'll pay you through that (hmm..)
-become an orb operator and get people to sign up, you'll make more
money as more people sign up. (This part sounds like an MLM, where do
I sign?)
-be your own boss (Added for comedic value)

People sell one of their kidneys for a few thousand dollars(going rate
a couple of decades ago). A fee bucks for a photo of your eyes?
They'll have tons of people doing that eagerly. r/slavelabour had
people sending pictures of themselves holding an ID for a few bucks.
It is too easy to pass up.

There’s a feature about this project that makes sense though:
separating humans from AI. There’s going to become a point where
online no one can tell who is real and who is AI

Dumb question, but is it really that hard to fake an iris? Or steal
someone else's by grabbing the first hi-res face picture you find and
scanning that?

People will only care about privacy when something is at stake. Thats
why i believe in coins like Monero, that will only be used when
governments or powers that be start to overreach. Until then its
business as usual.

It reminds me a bit of all the people that, not only gave their dna
for free to check for their 'ancestry' they actually paid for it. And
if I'm not mistaken, Blackrock was recently interested in buying a
company related to this. Totally not dystopian and shady...

Unfortunately some people dont see crypto as a way for any kind of
financial independence, but for a tool of unregulated financial
control where they become some kind of dystopian overlord.

Like others havs said really don't want to sell my eyeballs for coins
tbh. I don't have anything to hide in terms of my biometric data or
identity. But why should my identity be out there
