Is this thing as sketchy as it seems? The organization seems to be positioning itself as a way to verify you’re a real live human online, something about blockchain, doesn’t store your data, etc. Does anyone know more about it? I’m interested in how they make money and/or who is funding this project. They say the right things but seem to be hiding who is supporting them.
Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, and yes, it is just as crazy as it sounds. I would not touch this with a 1 million foot pole. Stay far far far away. If you want a blockchain currency, buy Monero.
Yes

Sam Altman and Andreessen Horowitz involvement should be all you need to know. But the reality is probably less dystopian than some people make it out to be. World to me just seems to be Altman trying to sell a solution to the problem that he’s trying to create with OpenAI (chatbots that are indistinguishable from humans).
If this is the eye-scanning orb bullshit, stay far, far away.
Related, so yes.
They lost me at Iris biometrics.
