I was appalled to see that most of the orb locations were NOT in western nations. This is an obvious attempt to collect biometric/human data for training purposes, by taking advantage of populations of developing nations, by giving them fake money.
- jacquesm 3y agoExactly, you have to be a certain level of cynical to be able to even suggest such a thing. It's a new form of colonial abuse, not unlike the way low value goods were exchanged with native peoples the world over in return for very high value goods or even their lives.
- Eumenes 3y agoYou can even take it a step further because you can sign up to be a "Worldcoin Orb Operator" and help facilitate the entire process against your fellow countrymen. Honestly I was impressed with how brazen this entire thing is - they might have well just paid for eyeball scans and cut the crypto crap.
- TeeWEE 3y agoWhat is exactly bad here? The eyeballs photos are not stored unless you agree with it. It’s just hashed and stored in the system. It’s just a hash of eyeballs to allow checking who is human and who is not. It doesn’t store any personal data. Did you read the whitepaper?
- code-blooded 3y agoScans of eyeballs were stored for training / algorithm improvement purposes during the beta phase rollout.
- sangnoir 3y ago> This is an obvious attempt to collect biometric/human data for training purposes Dream bigger! This biometric information is valuable, it can be sold or licensed to (current or future) identity companies, or included as part of a Palantir/Anduril/$Tolkien_Noun border security or intelligence services sold to governments all over the world. I'm sure the CIA & secret-police-types would love getting access to this data once they have a larger dataset (6 to 7 digits)
