> Daniel Suarez had a very similar idea, although he referred to it as the bot problem I also wrote about almost the exact same thing as what Worldcoin is doing back in 2006: https://www.alexkrupp.com/fourwebs.html https://www.alexkrupp.com/fourwebs.html As proof of the original publication date, not only is it in the Wayback Machine, but it's also cited in several academic papers and books. It's great that someone is actually doing it, but I'm also kind of ticked they didn't cite this essay as prior art in their patent application.
