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! -
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
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.

The one Orb you don't ponder.

Tools for Humanity... was founded six years ago with the lofty goal of providing a universal basic income to the world by offering them cryptocurrency called Worldcoin in exchange for scanning their eyeballs with an Orb.
What the fuck
This worldcoin? Yeah, it’s looking real good right now…

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.

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.
Will they though? Facebook has already created undisclosed bot accounts themselves before. A Platform where real users and such bots are indistinguishable (for the user) sounds like a social media corpos and authoritarian governments wet dream to me. Also reminds me of the attempts to disguise ads as natural content.

The bot problem has been around since before Sam Altman was old enough to legally drink. For example in the early days the founders of Reddit were running bots to make the site look wayyy busier than it actually was in order to attract new users.
He's a convenient bogey-man, and a huge asshole, but he's the not the source of this problem.

Sure but they only want the bots they approve of. That way they can charge for the privilege of allowing someone's preferred bots onto the platform.
