Look at the world if you want your votes according to a Semafor reportReddit is acting actively associated with World ID, the verification system co -founded by the Operai Sam Altman CEO, to perform the user verification on its platform.
According to the reportReddit’s potential association with World ID would allow users to verify that they are looking at one of the scan orbs of the ID of the world. Once confirmed as a real person, users could continue using Reddit without revealing anything about their identity. Currently, Reddit only performs the email verification, which has been insufficient to combat the litany of incoming bots with AI that floods the platform.
Gizmodo communicated with Reddit and World ID for details about the potential association. Reddit declined to comment. A World spokesman said: “We have nothing to share at this time; however, we see the value in the human being proof a key part of online experiences, including social, and welcome all possible opportunities to discuss this technology with potential partners.”
For those strangers, the world is somewhere between a verification system and a cryptographic scheme. World ID is a method to verify that a person is a human without demanding that they provide additional personal information, something that the company calls “Anonymous Human Test.” It offers several verification techniques, but the most notable is its ocular scan orb. The company claims “Verification data, or photos of iris or iris codes” are ever revealed, but going through the scan gives you a world identification, which can be used on a platform like Reddit, if associated with World in this effort.
Somewhere in the backend of all this is a cryptocurrency called Worldcoin, which can theoretically use in the main retailers, but right? Is anyone doing that? The founders of World, Altman and Alex Bania, launched The cryptography of the program with the intention of building a basic universal income “financed by AI”. Above all, he has made local governments really angry and have been in the Legal and Regulatory Research Center how you are handling the user data. Is largely addressed to developing nations for their first releases, and used some doubtful practices on the road For people to demonstrate the system.
In addition, it is probably not technically illegal, but it seems quite convenient for Sam Altman to offer a “resolution” for a problem that his other company, OpenAI, is largely responsible. It almost seems that he knew what problems he was about to cause and decided to take advantage of both ends. It must be nice.
