☆ Sam Altman’s lesser-known crypto project wants to scan the world’s eyeballs
  + stars: | 2024-09-13 | by ( Allison Morrow | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +9 min
And when that happens, he’s got another project, Worldcoin, in the works to help fix it. To do that, it’s using its proprietary, basketball-ball sized “orbs” that scan people’s eyeballs and create a unique, immutable code based on the pattern of their irises. So I sat down (virtually) with Worldcoin’s co-founder and CEO, 30-year-old Alex Blania, to discuss the project’s origins and future. CNN: A lot of Worldcoin’s focus is future-focused — targeting problems that are hard for us to imagine today. Blania: I think there’s two pieces to that.

☆ Behold, the Orb: I can't stop thinking about Sam Altman's dystopian eyeball-scanning device
  + stars: | 2023-07-25 | by ( Sindhu Sundar | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
The orbs, shiny sculptural spheres that scan the eyeballs of new members, seem to have become the company's dystopian symbol. But Worldcoin's Orbs look more like inscrutable machines than something mythological. Worldcoin has said it has emphasized privacy in designing a system based on extracting eyeball scans. And the eyeball scans get erased, according to Worldcoin. Worldcoin has said that "World IDs" don't contain any eyeball scans or iris data.

☆ Worldcoin: OpenAI's Sam Altman launches crypto project
  + stars: | 2023-07-24 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +2 min
Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency project founded by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman, launched on Monday. Blockchains can store the World IDs in a way that preserves privacy and can’t be controlled or shut down by any single entity, co-founder Alex Blania told Reuters. The project says World IDs will be necessary in the age of generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT, which produce remarkably humanlike language. Altman told Reuters Worldcoin also can help address how the economy will be reshaped by generative AI. Since only real people can have World IDs, it could be used to reduce fraud when deploying UBI.

But, "you do at some point need to start having contact with reality," he told Insider. The plan was still only a rough sketch, Blania told Insider, but that didn't seem to matter to his host. "He always wanted to understand everything at a very deep level," Thrun told Insider in an email. (When asked about guns, Altman told Insider he'd been "happy to have one both times my home was broken into while I was there.") When asked about this, Altman told Insider in an email: "i can guess what that's about; these stories grow crazily inflated over the years of getting re-told!
