Worldcoin, founded by US tech entrepreneur Sam Altman, offers free crypto tokens to people who agree to have their eyeballs scanned.

It claims to be creating a new global “identity and financial network”.

Altman, who founded Open AI, which built chat bot ChatGPT, says he hopes the initiative will help confirm if someone is a human or a robot. He also says this could lead to everyone being paid a universal basic income but it is not clear how.

Sure, bud, hand over our biometrics for your private fiat money, for the promise of unclear-how basic income, meanwhile with your exploiting the poors and manipulating the laws to favor yourself.

This whole WorldCoin thing sounds incredibly dystopian.
