Last night I was on the phone with my mom and I passed a Worldcoin store (picture below) that I didn’t know existed and I was like oh! mom! and she’s like what’s that and I start explaining it to her 

the whole time I’m explaining I can feel the tension rising. It wasn’t my fault. You try and explain this without sounding satanic. One world ID and it scans your iris for money??? 

It  ended with me exploding because I DID scan my eyeball and I was like “IM SO SORRY I MIGHT HAVE SOLD MY SOUL TO THE DEVIL IM NOT SURE I AM AN EARLY ADOPTER PERSONA” 

no takesies backsies though so here we are 😬

what freedom does it grant devs? proof of not-a-bot?

It’s genuinely nice in some ways. I see how much more freedom it grants devs ….

creating and destroying; flying cars, roc.camera, july.rocks /july /faust

the real clue is if peter theil gets involved with world. then you know you're really fucked.

I FUCKED UP, MAYBE 
I will take care of everyone’s pets when I am Left Behind 😭 😭

Sending well-wishes for your eternal soul! I’m sure you’ll be okay 🤲

You know (and this is going to make it seem more satanic) I wasn’t down in theory but I went with a bunch of friends to check it out and one thing led to another ya know

Honestly I would not have expected you to be down to do that based on your other takes haha. I'm definitely too weirded out by it, but I wonder how much detail they are actually getting that can't just be taken from a photo these days.

yeah i was pretty hesitant for a long time and chatting with @lay2000lbs and seeing all the progress they’ve made shifted my perspective 

You should try out Yammiez!

There’s been a long time between when I got orbed and the new stuff now. For like the first year of me having World the app didn’t work for me lol 

Think that didn’t help things

I’ve gotten more comfortable with world personally

I got orbed at ethcc and there’s some mini apps that i’ve really enjoyed 

I think proof of humanity and proof of passport are very useful and valuable protocol primitives

Kind of but not really 
But while we are at this 
that evil stupid company i hate so much CLEAR has them too
I got into a bad way around the holiday season and wouldn’t have made my flight unless I paid to cut and ugh

Well if it makes you feel better the government already has your eyes from the airport

I get an extra…… $150 in WLD because I did it so long ago 🥲

oh no. did you at least got some swag? lol

Don't know exactly how to feel about this. But, I understand your mum's concern. Do we even need to scan?

*trump voice* you’re telling me now for the very first time

also takebacksies is literally part of the protocol because you can leak your credentials to invalidate them, then have to re-scan an eyeball to create new credentials

"I AM AN EARLY ADOPTER PERSONA” is the perfect battlecry

Had an appointment in Shibuya but chickened out 😭

Don't worry about it. You can always buy another set of eyes

You didn’t sell your soul, you just scanned it for tokens. 

Peak early adopter energy, no going back now!

Yh, shit can be scary but then again, doesn’t eternity boil down to your faith??

Don't get why people are afraid. Raw biometric images are NOT stored. It’s hashed, fragmented, and irreversibly abstracted

No, it is pretty satanic.

- made by sama, well known psychopath who's a little too fond of his little sister. pushes both the problem (chatgpt) and the solution (worldcoin)
- tied to low float shitcoin ("the human network"... where team+VCs own governance forever)
- harvested eyeballs in thirdworld for years. many stories of orb operators taking biometrics for themselves, or people reselling their ids

A tool for the world should never be operated by a single company, and especially not an American company.

Universal ID should be free, open, available as a public good. Yet another evil in the long list of ills of Worldcoin is that their mere existence sucks attention away from nascent virtuous zkTLS solutions.

The other side of the story is:

The world is becoming one global village, and we require global tools and universal identification to allow for global coordination.

It's not satanic, it's harmonious 👍

lmaooo this is the most relatable tech moment ever 😭
