San Francisco: San Francisco spends enough time, cyberpanks do the future peering, and you can find that strange things such as self-driving cars and woolen mammoths begin to normalize.
On Wednesday night, people used to wait impatiently in a crowded room in Marina district, by staring into a glowing white shell, known as orb, their eyeballs were scanned in exchange for cryptocurrency and some are called world IDs. The event was hosted by the World, a San Francisco Startup co-installed by Sam Altman of Openai, which has come up with one of the more ambitious (or scary, depends on your thoughts) in technical projects in recent memory.
Its original pitch is: Internet is about to overtake with a flock of realistic Ay bots It will be impossible to tell if we are interacting with real humans in online places. To solve this, the World has created a program called World ID that will allow users to verify their humanity online. To enroll, the users stare into an oorb, which collects a scan of their irises and provides them a unique Biometric identifier Through an app.
In return, users receive a cryptocurrency WorldcoinWhat they can spend, can send other world ID holders or trade for other currencies. (By Wednesday night, the sign-up bonus cost around $ 40.) In the event, Ultman picked the world as a solution to the problem he called “Trust in AGI’s age”. He said, “We wanted a way to ensure that humans stay special and central in a world where there was a lot of AI-powered materials on the Internet,” he said.
