    Altman himself noted “crazy lines around the world” in a tweet. In reality, there was just one other person at the shared workspace signing up when we arrived.

    It could be so sexy and nice if we held people accountable for lying.

    I look forward to this going nowhere, just like every other crypto project that tries to have utility.

    If your social security number is stolen, it’s a huge fuckin deal but at least you can get the government to issue a new one.

    What happens if my eyeball wallet is stolen? “Sorry, you need new eyes?” Am I locked out of the Orbconomy for the rest of my life? 👁️👄👁️

    how are you supposed to get more of these to trade? “being a unique human being” just doesn’t cut it for me, maybe I’m missing something? it all seems like a way to trade your identity for monopoly money

      Same way you’re supposed to get more of any currency: from other people.

      The 25 WLD are just an initial gift, like a “universal inheritance”, that’s going to have a value anywhere from $0, to [total amount of money]/[total number of people] in the world.

    Okta, a leading identity and access management company, will be the first major company to integrate Worldcoin’s option, letting users sign in using a QR code generated on the Worldcoin app.

    Great

      Why is Okta getting involved in this craziness? Surely if they wanted retinal scanning they could implement it directly
