I mean, there's someone here who has (not even exaggerating) 15+ accounts that they just rotate thru.
It's a hassle to block them all because I still see new ones, but I'll take that over "proving myself" as a unique person with something like this.
I haven't seen like any hilariouschaos users in awhile

That is perhaps the only orb I care not to ponder.

On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.
On the other hand, oh hell no.
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.

lol. That stupid Orb thing is still around?

Just no. I use reddit because it's pseudonimous. I would never reveal my id on reddit of all places, regardless of how useful it can be.

Hmm funny how Sam Altman is one of the few people responsible for creating that problem and now he's selling the solution to it

I think the appropriate headline should be:
"Reddit in talks to embrace iris-scanning Orb to verify users created by man alleged by his own sister to have molested her throughout her childhood beginning at age 3."

Exactly. Reddit isn’t my fucking bank. They don’t need to know who I am.
Your bank doesn't even need to know who you are.
On a related note, Bank of America, if you're reading this, my name is
floop @lemmy.dbzer0.com, and I would like to withdraw all the money from my account. Nonsequential bills please! -

He’s a modern day arms dealer.

It's actually low-key brilliant. Start a gold rush, when you realize the gold isn't actually there, pivot to selling shovels and keep hyping the gold rush. Fools and their money are soon parted, and there seem to be an endless supply of them.

Lol. The bots to humans ratio will get even bigger if that happens.
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.

I’m 100% for technological advancement and even AI.
They will have to rip my fucking eyes out before I let them scan them with this thing.

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?

Your iris/fingerprint scanner is only secure until someone is willing to rip out an eyeball/finger.

No human needs this, this is the march of the companies against humanity.
