Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users
-
According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID could soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform.
Reddit knowing who I am isn't okay though. Who tf trusts them?
What?! Think of the shareholder value! /s

I mean, come on. We shit on redditors, but even redditors won't stand for getting their iris's scanned just to use the site..

It works: You can tell the real humans because they'll be the only ones unwilling to do this invasive bullshit. The bots will just come up with something fake to scan and carry on as they always have.

Like a real human eye? Is this how Skynet starts?

scan your eyes to use social media? don't mind if I DONT lol
I will happily forego any/all social media (and never look back) rather than submit to such an idiotic, intrusive, perverse, and disgusting system.

I don't think psudonyms are an issue, but verifying that a user is an actual person vs an AI chatbot is absolutely something that every popular social media platform will need to tackle at some point.
Why? Internet rules from the days gone by - everyone is a liar. So it shouldn't matter.

Wouldn't it just be reverse engineering what the scanner does? If you have a close enough copy of thesnanning tech couldn't you have a bot rapidly iterate eyeballs in some form till it can pass the real version a couple times and repeat with the iteration process?

Your iris/fingerprint scanner is only secure until someone is willing to rip out an eyeball/finger.
Or counterfits good enough beat the scanner someone is willing to pay for, a bank might have a super good system but would all the other branches that would use something like this, would even an ATM in a bad neighbourhood has as good of a scanner as one in a higher class area if they can save some money?

So this guy helps create a technology that turns bots up to 11 and then he turns around to sell us a privacy invasive solution to the problem he created? What a fucking asshole.

So much of what creating privacy busting biometric databases claim to do could be accomplished with speed-of-light geofencing, a.k.a. “distance-bounding protocol”. If a moderator decides messages from country X are problematic, then they can flag/block them for other users. It only requires carefully measuring ping times and basically involves banning traffic from places that can't achieve certain minimum pings to certain trusted servers.

Adam ruined reddit.
(Go with me on the joke, reddit was ruined long long time ago. Adam did an endorsement of Orb a few weeks back, got called out and did an apology.)
I'M STILL BLAMING CONOVER THO

But would it make you feel better to know that there’s also a crypto currency associated with it?
