Humans are worse. Obviously if you don't know how to discern garbage data from legit data, you're going to have a bad time, but these emerging tools are strictly better than anything that has existed before.

I currently use the "summarize everything" extension for this. It lets you tweak your system prompt if you want to, but the defaults are pretty good. It's just another tool. Use it or don't, but it's saved me countl

What monoculture? There is an incredibly rich ecosystem of Chromium forks, all playing with different ideas for how the web should work. There's a nice, clean, stable base for people to work with, and extend upon. This seems like the i

There was no copy protection being bypassed in that era, and ripping CDs was just a normal thing that people did to listen to music on their computer without having to worry about scratch discs etc.

Sybil resistance is important in any sort of UBI system that preserves privacy, which may or may not be important. I like the idea of a privacy preserving UBI, and feel like it's definitely a lot more equitable than having it based on

Okay, so what's the attack scenario here? Imagine we live in a future where Worldcoin is ubiquitous, all the hardware/software is open source. Several orb operators exist in every city in the world, and operators have a non-trivia

That sounds neat. I like the ultra-local approach. The important thing that I think your argument is missing is that everything here is additive. I'm sure the whole Worldcoin team would love it if governance organizations of all sizes,

People will soon be able to use their iriscodes to reclaim credentials that they sold, and once people start doing that, the market for re-sold credentials will drop to approximately zero.

You realize that the IRS deals with rampant fraud right? And with emerging technology, the capabilities of criminals to steal identities is only increasing. People file taxes for dead people or people whose identities have been stolen all t

I actually think his actual concern here is humans stealing identities and running bots in order to farm any sort of UBI mechanism that gets set up. It's not about humans asserting their humanness over some evil AGI/ASI machine, i

Neat, so are all world governments going to band together and implement UBI? Do you really think that waiting for all world governments to come together and figure this out is the right move here? I admire the optimism (I think of myself as

"Freedom fighters" has a lot of negative connotations in many realms as well. It evokes images of rebels using violence to push some political agenda. Sometimes for worthy causes, sometimes less so. No, we're keeping the word

Designs are mostly open, and plans are for the orbs to be fully open hardware. The iris is hashed into an "iriscode" and the detailed scans are deleted, and never leave the device. Iriscode is then linked via some zero knowledge p
