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" https://www.bankless.com/read/world-openai-social-network

Too much friction to onboard users AND create a threshold for content-quality imo. Bankless and OpenAI are going to lean bias optimistic obviously because their incentives kinda requires that bias. Psychological Case Studies, incentives are absolutely statistical variables which would need to be isolated for clean truthful data, as they can and will affect and skew the data. But it's a paradox, seeing businesses are not bound by the truthful limitations of Academia... omitting the incentive entirely would miss out on the trending aspect that actually acquires target users. I think Worldcoin is an unreasonably-optimistic sunk cost anchored in solving a bot problem many humans are fully capable of brain-filtering naturally, because that incentive aligns with their futuristic brand. Not because it solves something meaningful, or real. I don't see the collective world accepting dystopian eye-scanning orbs. The 4-million or so onboards in Africa seems pervasive to me as well.
