Exactly. Reddit isn’t my fucking bank. They don’t need to know who I am.
Whatcha mean, they obviously need to count the wrinkles on your dirty balloon knot.

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
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.

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.
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.

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?

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.
