Beware Of the Worldcoin Trap: A Dystopian Eyeball Odyssey

in r2cornell •  last year 


OpenAI founder, Sam Altman, has unleashed Worldcoin, a cryptocurrency token enticing people to surrender their biometric data by scanning their eyeballs with an Orb. But, beware! This project embodies the very dystopian nightmare that Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies were designed to escape.

Worldcoin's tokenomics reveal a concerning truth. With only 1% of its value floating, its sustainability hinges on forcing the entire world to submit to ze. Unlike organic growth experienced by Bitcoin and Ethereum, Worldcoin is an all-or-nothing gamble, where the failure to achieve universal on-chain identity will render it worthless.

Moreover, Altman's track record raises eyebrows. Advocating for a regulatory moat to protect AI dominance and switching from a nonprofit to a for-profit entity is suggestive of questionable business ethics. Can we trust him with our precious biometric data?

Claims of privacy protection by Worldcoin are unproven, and the Orb's mysterious nature casts doubts on its credibility. Without free and open-source verification, its integrity is suspect, putting users at risk.

As if that's not enough, Altman's AI revolution opens the door to Sybil attacks and market manipulation. Instead of addressing this concern, Worldcoin demands the world's biometric compliance as a remedy, raising concerns about personal privacy.

It's time to question the immense ego behind Worldcoin's promises. Altman boasts of changing the world with AI while admitting its potential to cause havoc. His solution? A global eye-scanning spree! This level of hubris would make Soviet-era commissars blush.

In the face of these dangers, let's protect ourselves and our identities. Say NO to the Worldcoin trap! Let's preserve the principles that make cryptocurrencies empowering and decentralized, and resist the Orwellian vision of a biometric-controlled world.
