Scanning is so much better than probing! I really should’ve run this by you first! 😂

Nah. It’s literally just one human vouching that there is another human behind a given account - as opposed to a spam bot.

But of course, there will be rules that are meant to prevent people from cheating the system. Those rules aren’t built into the version that’s currently live. Right now you could spin up a bunch of accounts and verify them. So the rules will be what makes it interesting. 🤓

🤣 I think the Worldcoin dudes tried probing each other first, but didn’t scale to their users.

That’s very cool though, looking forward to checking it out!

Lol. Thank the great nostrich I don’t know what Worldcoin is! Sounds painful. 😅

😳 Sounds horrific

“I’ve been very interested in things like universal basic income and what’s going to happen to global wealth redistribution,” Sam Altman, Worldcoin’s cofounder and the former President of Silicon Valley accelerator Y Combinator, told Bloomberg, which first reported on the company last summer. Worldcoin was intended, he explained, to answer the question “Is there a way we can use technology to do that at a global scale?”

Guess ChatGPT is fine

Yea… terrifying. Get everyone’s biometric data with Worldcoin, then use the public to train my ChatGPT AI.

Could Satoshi have been a sentient A.I., would an A.I. value Bitcoin?

Sent back to save humanity?

It's hard to exclude as possible and yeah that to seems like a mission in the spirit of Satoshi.
