Raw LLM Responses

I am seeing an uptick of retinal scans Lately from third party companies. It’s a project called Worldcoin (now often just called ‘World’) that aims to create a global digital identity system using iris scans for some reason to prove someone is a real human. It was co-founded by Sam Altman and others, and is developed by Tools for Humanity. The system has three main parts: a biometric identity called World ID, a mobile app that acts like a crypto wallet, and a cryptocurrency token (WLD). People can scan their eyes using a device called an Orb to get a unique ID and, in some cases, receive cryptocurrency as an incentive.  Sound fishy yet? The stated goal is to create a ‘proof of personhood’ system to distinguish humans from AI online and potentially support things like global financial access or digital identity systems. Using their crypto.  Sound fishy yet? I think it’s scammy and that they’re mainly trying to make money on crypto while using the identity idea to prop it up.
