Thanks, good read. It bums me out that people are still fouled by Sam Altmann's shtick. OpenAI and Worldcoin are just grifts. At least OpenAI DOES some things, but it's definitely not open. Worldcoin seems like data-gathering with a hint of crypto-grift.

It used to be open, then they looked the entire research community in the eyes, flipped them the bird, and burned not only their good will, but a huge portion of actually open AI research and development.
Remember they promised it was because of safety when they didn't release gpt3 to the public. They're full of shit and safety means only corporate control.
OpenAI used to be open. You can download GPT2, but it's kinda crappy.

My sister was panic'ing about this yesterday, I told her it was the dumbest idea I've heard.
And I've seen Logan Paul's Zoocoin. Hell I'd double down and say I'd put my money in zoocoin before worldcoin.
In a world where Bitcoin and Etherium already exist, what does a coin like "Worldcoin" bring to the stage?
More complexity.
Of course there are problems with modern crypto, in terms of security, but a system that can be hacked more easily then the blockchain is for sure not the answer.
And a project that is LESS CONVENIENT then modern crypto, with less security too. Get the hell out of here.
