And you need to donate a kidney.
Hey, it’s reddit, it’ll be worth it to see all those ai bots talk to eachother, Right?

These companies are really seeing how far they can get away with shit. It’s mind blowing.
Dogyote@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
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.
biggerbogboy@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Isn’t he an accelerationist? To them the more fuck ups we have the more solutions we make, which is pretty stupid of an argument in my opinion.
Dogyote@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
I agree. We obviously need to make huge changes to how we live asap, but it seems so profoundly stupid to let a few unelected people break things without a collectively agreed upon plan in place.
Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
But would it make you feel better to know that there’s also a crypto currency associated with it?
Dogyote@slrpnk.net 11 months ago
I can’t believe you’ve done this to me
HappySkullsplitter@lemmy.world 11 months ago
… and they’re gonna need a bone marrow sample to verify
bimbimboy@lemmy.eco.br 11 months ago
YES, PLEASE! DO IT!!! Give people more reasons to leave!!
0ndead@infosec.pub 11 months ago
Yeah this sounds like final nail in the coffin idea
Nephalis@discuss.tchncs.de 11 months ago
Nah, since it is only an option (at least it read like this) not much would happen (again) I guess.
Face recognition in smartphones is spread widely even though I know nobody using it.
Integrate777@discuss.online 11 months ago
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…
terminhell@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think you dropped this: /s
big_slap@lemmy.world 11 months ago
scan your eyes to use social media? don’t mind if I DONT lol
happydoors@lemmy.world 11 months ago
But think of all the convenience you gain by not having to remember a password! That darn brain of mine
lupusblackfur@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I will happily forego any/all social media (and never look back) rather than submit to such an idiotic, intrusive, perverse, and disgusting system.
🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 💩

No human needs this, this is the march of the companies against humanity.
rumba@piefed.zip 11 months ago
Ahh so they'll use this to eliminate bots and multi-account trolls right?
right??????!!?!?
pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
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?
Brewchin@lemmy.world 11 months ago
What?! Think of the shareholder value! /s
Linktank@lemmy.today 11 months ago
Glad I left that shithole.
Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
I’m 100% for technological advancement and even AI.
They will have to rip my fucking eyes out before I let them scan them with this thing.
NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
Your iris/fingerprint scanner is only secure until someone is willing to rip out an eyeball/finger.
Kowowow@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
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?
kamenlady@lemmy.world 11 months ago
The one Orb you don’t ponder.
timewarp@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I think the appropriate headline should be:
“Reddit in talks to embrace iris-scanning Orb to verify users created by man alleged by his own sister to have molested her throughout her childhood beginning at age 3.”
Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 11 months ago
lol. That stupid Orb thing is still around?
ummthatguy@lemmy.world 11 months ago
That is perhaps the only orb I care not to ponder.
SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Just no. I use reddit because it’s pseudonimous. I would never reveal my id on reddit of all places, regardless of how useful it can be.
rimu@piefed.social 11 months ago
I hope they do this, it'd make the APIopolypse look like a practice run.
LWD@lemm.ee 11 months ago
[deleted]HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 11 months ago
are they really trying to make us ponder an orb to get onto reddit
tarknassus@lemmy.world 11 months ago
This worldcoin? Yeah, it’s looking real good right now…
NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 11 months ago
I’ll give you $1 per eyeball
besselj@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
Lol. The bots to humans ratio will get even bigger if that happens.
cecilkorik@piefed.ca 11 months ago
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.
meco03211@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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?
artifex@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.
On the other hand, oh hell no.
deathbird@mander.xyz 11 months ago
As explained, it’s not even quite user identification, but rather verification of a unique individual. The ability to identify that an account is held by a unique person (as opposed to possibility being one of many puppet accounts) is pretty useful, particularly if it’s not possible to backtrace it to an otherwise identifiable person.
Even so, the problem I see with this system is that a person has to be careful to never, ever, ever associate their unique ID with themselves, though there will be constant pressure to do so.
acosmichippo@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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 social media will need to tackle at some point.
NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 11 months ago
Why? Internet rules from the days gone by - everyone is a liar. So it shouldn’t matter.
passepartout@feddit.org 11 months ago
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 governments wet dream to me. Also reminds me of the attempts to disguise ads as natural content.
SpatchyIsOnline@lemmy.world 11 months ago
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
givesomefucks@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I mean, there’s someone here who has (not even exaggerating) 15+ accounts that they just rotate thru.
It’s a hassle to block them all because I still see new ones, but I’ll take that over “proving myself” as a unique person with something like this.
glimse@lemmy.world 11 months ago
I haven’t seen like any hilariouschaos users in awhile
floop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
Exactly. Reddit isn’t my fucking bank. They don’t need to know who I am.
cuteness@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
They don’t even require an email when signing up. At the same time they speed run to biometrics.
What a shit show they’ve become.
scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 11 months ago
Whatcha mean, they obviously need to count the wrinkles on your dirty balloon knot.
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 11 months ago
Your bank doesn’t even need to know who you are.
On a related note, Bank of America, if you’re reading this, my name is floop @lemmy.dbzer0.com, and I would like to withdraw all the money from my account. Nonsequential bills please!
SnokenKeekaGuard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 months ago
I heard this news a couple years ago. No chance in hell it happens
