RIP Worldcoin
With what feels like a very convoluted solution to distinguishing real humans from artificial intelligence, Sam Altman’s Worldcoin project strives to scan and document every last human being’s eyes in exchange for free crypto tokens to create a database that could one day be used as the building blocks for a universal basic income. So far, Worldcoin’s eye-scanning Orb device hasn’t come anywhere close to processing every human on the planet, and while the Reality Pro headset isn’t exactly priced for every consumer, it comes with Apple’s new Optic ID security which authenticates users based on their unique iris, instead of their face or fingerprints. Will Optic ID show up on other Apple devices in the future? That’s unknown, but should it be introduced to the iPhone, it won’t take long for Optic ID to surpass what Worldcoin has accomplished.
