Worldcoin<\/a> co-founder Sam Altman of Open AI has worked with Elon Musk, and Elon Musk has plans to turn Twitter into the X everything app; digital ID, finance, vaccine passports and medical records…. So Worldcoin has over $100 million in capital invested, and already using their orb to scan eyeballs and get biometric iris hashes for their cryptocurrency. Your iris hash being your digital ID that can then be loaded into a digital wallet. They started in poorer countries with giving away Worldcoin to people that sign up, but they’re supposedly getting traction in Spain and Portugal. Consequently, Worldcoin if successful could be rolled into Twitter or the X everything app. There is probably jockeying on who can come up with the best technology and which one will catch on with the masses, but it is coming and you won’t be able to buy, sell or trade without it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World ID involves iris scanning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Right now, it\u2019s about those who voluntarily surrender their biometric data and receive \u201csmall sums\u201d in Worldcoin<\/a> in return for signing up to the World ID scheme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if Open AI CEO Sam Altman has anything to say about how Worldcoin, a project within his company, develops \u2013 everyone who wants to use the internet will eventually be required to use World ID \u2013 or \u201csomething like it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And right now, it seems that people in several southern European countries, notably Spain and Portugal, are simply itching to give away their iris biometrics as proof of identity and right to a cryptocurrency transfer wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signup process involves exposing your eyes to what\u2019s known as Worldcoin\u2019s Orb iris scanners<\/a>. If reports are to be believed, the uptake in Spain, where the scheme first became available a year ago, is better than elsewhere \u2013 150,000 participants in total, 20,000 new ones each day, and Barcelona is the place where a number of Orb scanners will be installed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Portugal is not far behind, with 120,000 participants, and Germany is said to also be warming up to the project, ever since it started expanding two months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all, some 2 million \u201cbiometric credentials\u201d are now operated by Worldcoin. Why do people sign up for it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSomething like World ID will eventually exist, meaning that you will need to verify [you are human] on the internet, whether you like it or not,\u201d Blania said.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhether you like it or not\u201d are the \u201csweet\u201d words everyone does (not) like to hear in connections with something like that, but that is what Worldcoin CEO Alex Blania decided to go for when describing the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In it, according to Blania, digital ID will be so prevalent that it will become inevitable, and there will be no escaping verifying the quality of being human (and likely, quite a few more things) online \u2013 if one wants to be online at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And whether one \u201clikes it or not.\u201d Blania links it to \u201cprogress\u201d in \u201cAI,\u201d and predicts this will be happening as soon as within a couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember when you thought CAPTCHA were bad for your privacy, and for the way they effectively outsource your labor? Well now CAPTCHA\u2019s are apparently considered outdated, as new iterations of \u201cAI\u201d is showing us the way to the brave new world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
