> Those articles are very biased
What you quoted is not an example of bias, it’s just a statement you disagree with.
You also ignored the bit of countries banning it.
> I'm a worldcoiner.
Thus have a vested interest in its success. That is an example of potential bias.
> I don't feel scammed or exploited
Neither do you seem too happy about it.

You don’t know that. All you know is what they say, and that’s worth very little. Companies lie and cheat all the time. For example, on their FAQ they say the orb deletes the data “by default”, which implies there is a way to not have it deleted. That alone should give you pause. And this is not yet widespread enough for anyone to know the worst consequences.
> Sam didn't create AI
Neither did I say he did.
> it would have happened anyway.
You don’t know (nor do I) if it would have been released this irresponsibly, making other companies do the same, if not for Sam and OpenAI. In fact, we know Google had working systems like this before ChatGPT and they chose to not release them.
- tim333 2y agoWell my impression form first hand experience with Worldcoin is they are biased.
- latexr 2y agoRespectfully, one person’s subjective opinion doesn’t mean much. Those reporters spoke to much more than one person. It doesn’t even seem like you investigated it or anything, you’re just going by gut feeling based on what happened to you individually. It’s like you’re seeing a report of an earthquake that demolished half a city and calling them biased because your house didn’t collapse.
- tim333 2y agoActually looking at the articles again most of the discrepancy seems to be they were from 2022 before the Worldcoin crypto payouts started in 2023 which is why the people in them were annoyed they hadn't been paid, whereas I joined after that and was paid out straight away.
