A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Altman himself noted “crazy lines around the world” in a tweet. In reality, there was just one other person at the shared workspace signing up when we arrived.

It could be so sexy and nice if we held people accountable for lying.

I look forward to this going nowhere, just like every other crypto project that tries to have utility.

If your social security number is stolen, it's a huge fuckin deal but at least you can get the government to issue a new one.

What happens if my eyeball wallet is stolen? "Sorry, you need new eyes?" Am I locked out of the Orbconomy for the rest of my life? 👁️👄👁️

how are you supposed to get more of these to trade? "being a unique human being" just doesn't cut it for me, maybe I'm missing something? it all seems like a way to trade your identity for monopoly money

Same way you're supposed to get more of any currency: from other people.

The 25 WLD are just an initial gift, like a "universal inheritance", that's going to have a value anywhere from $0, to [total amount of money]/[total number of people] in the world.

Okta, a leading identity and access management company, will be the first major company to integrate Worldcoin’s option, letting users sign in using a QR code generated on the Worldcoin app.

Great

Why is Okta getting involved in this craziness? Surely if they wanted retinal scanning they could implement it directly
