worldcoin

sharing a few speculative thoughts / questions if @worldcoin app becomes a social app, after reading this @bankless piece by @robinson.

half-baked hypothesis:
1. would shift world from identity-focused to content-focused, which is *hard*

2. user behavior, engagement, and content becomes highly valuable training data for OpenAI (if users consent into it; opt-in should be imperative here)

3. then, in theory, $WLD could be the mechanism to compensate users for providing training data (in contrast to reddit selling user data but users get no cut whatsoever)

open questions i can't stop thinking about:
1. how do you measure which data is most valuable? not all data is equal

2. who gets to choose who the data is sold to and at what cost?

3. does incentivizing data actually warp the data? a la goodhart's law problem "when a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure"

It could be a way to stratify social data as well, would be powerful. Thought Sama in the past hasnt been a fan of social media data as he detailed again in a recent blog post.
