I detest this World coin thing so much. Takes massive advantage of people here in Kenya.
Friends don't let friends get their eyeballs scanned to buy a coffee.
This portable dystopia machine is Tools for Humanity's latest effort to live up to their Orwellian name.
Connoisseurs of the AI-will-end-humanity marketing hype train of a few years ago should find plenty to appreciate in an eyeball scanner framed as as a 'helpful' tool to distinguish between AI agents & humans.
Or is it for that? Or maybe point of sale? Or nebulous 'verification?'
The only clear thing? This device starts from a point of biometric #privacy invasion.
It sure looks to me like another effort by the company Sam Altman founded to make a global data-grab.
Just say no.

So sad 🥲
Any time you see a name like 'Tools for Humanity' you should slow down and scrutinize.
Especially when paired with AI hype.
The level of documented exploitation around the WorldCoin project is wild.
Everything nostr:nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcqpqq0al05h2uvtj0fp8ww7etl0pdjnkum638ynz9tmku3e522fyvlmq6rcms0 said x1000.
Now the company wants more data.
Exploitation was baked right in from the earliest days of this hype train.
