Broke my streak and posted on Twitter troll Krugman…
I was instantly reminded of what I’m *not* missing 🫠

Thanks for doing it so I didn’t have to.
Worldcoin has 100m active users‽ That seems really high.
No, it doesn’t
Maybe that's one user per eyeball scanned. 🤔
Given they had 450,000 scanned people last year in 2022, 100 million ‘active users’ seems unrealistic today.
In 2022 “Worldcoin reported scanning 450,000 eyes, faces, and bodies in 24 countries. Of those, 14 were developing nations while Eight were located in Africa.” The scary part is their goal is to scan 1 Billion people by the end 2023. 😬
They use such deceptive marketing tactics with a “social assistance giveaway” scheme and collect more personal data than it acknowledges and fails to obtain meaningful informed consent. 🤢

OMFG. Sam's dystopian eyeball-scanning folks had the nerve to reply? 🤣
Or is his ChatGPT busy because it's running the Twitter accounts?
please wash your hands before touching any notes. Who knows what you've brought over from _that_ place.
Only Twitter people with blue checks are that stupid. So glad I got rid of Twitter long time ago.
You have been punished for your transgressions
Why does the worldcoin logo looks like some alien claw that grabs for the world somehow, and how could that possibly be some kind of “good” marketing 🤣🤣🤣
