Dude is morally bankrupt, abusing poverty gap to harvest biometric data via his cryptoscam
I’m disheartened by the “Open”AI employees backing him and pretty surprised at how many hn’ers think so highly of him (especially considering the anti-crypto bent this place has)
- 3cats-in-a-coat 3y agoIt depends what he wants to do with this data. Worldcoin was a botched launch, and one could see this from a mile away, which does speak for his "move quick, break things" attitude, which is indeed alarming. The whole idea of Worldcoin is raising eyebrows. But is he morally bankrupt "abusing poverty", or just naive and willing to take risks is subject to debate. What do you think is the use of scanning eyeballs of poor people? Mostly to train the AI how to recognize eyeballs. Which kind of is the point of the tech.
