Worldcoin, founded by US tech entrepreneur Sam Altman, offers free crypto tokens to people who agree to have their eyeballs scanned.
What a perfect sentence to sum up 2023 with.
Mr 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.
That last line kinda creeps me out.

Yeah that’s most most sci-fi dystopian article I’ve read in a while.
The line where one of the people waiting to get their eyes scanned is well eye opening " I don’t care what they do with the data, I just want the money", this is why they want us poor, so we need money so badly that we will impatiently hand over everything that makes us.
But we already happily hand over our DNA genome to private corporations, so what’s an eye scan gonna do…

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
That’s why they just removed the military limitations in their terms of service I guess…
I also want to sell my shit for every purpose but take zero responsibility for consequences.
Considering what we’ve decided to call AI can’t actually make decisions, that’s a no-brainer.
AI term means humans are no brainers
Has anyone checked on the sister?
OpenAI went from interesting to horrifying so quickly, I just can’t look.

People still like Steve Jobs.
Ugh. There’s time yet.
Shouldn’t, but there’s absolutely nothing stopping it, and lazy tech companies absolutely will. I mean we live in a world where Boeing built a plane that couldn’t fly straight so they tried to fix it with software. The tech will be abused so long as people are greedy.
They fixed it with software and then charged extra for the software safety feature. It wasn’t until the planes started falling out of the sky that they decided they would gracefully offer it for free.
AI will be used to increase shareholder dividends. If your company just happens to involve healthcare, warfare, etc and AI makes decisions to maximize profit then youre just collateral damage with no human to blame. Sorry your husband died of cancer, the computer did it.
Yup, my job sent us to an AI/ML training program from a top cloud computing provider, and there were a few hospital execs there too.
They were absolutely giddy about being able to use it to deny unprofitable medical care. It was disgusting.
Agreed, but also one doomsday-prepping capitalist shouldn’t be making AI decisions. If only there was some kind of board that would provide safeguards that ensured AI was developed for the benefit of humanity rather than profit…
AI shouldn’t make any decisions
I’m tired of dopey white men making the world so much worse.
is exactly this AI will do in a near future (not dystopia)
I am sure Zergerberg is also claiming that they are not making any life-or-death decisions. Lets see you in a couple years when the military gets involved with your shit. Oh wait they already did but I guess they will just use AI to improve soldiers’ canteen experience.
Ummm…no fucking shit. Who was thinking that was a good idea?
probably about half of the executives this guy talks to
So just like shitty biased algorithms shouldn’t be making life changing decisions on folks’ employability, loan approvals, which areas get more/tougher policing, etc. I like stating obvious things, too. A robot pulling the trigger isn’t the only “life-or-death” choice that will be (is!) automated.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
ChatGPT is one of several generative AI systems that can create content in response to user prompts and which experts say could transform the global economy.
But there are also dystopian fears that AI could destroy humanity or, at least, lead to widespread job losses.
AI is a major focus of this year’s gathering in Davos, with multiple sessions exploring the impact of the technology on society, jobs and the broader economy.
In a report Sunday, the International Monetary Fund predicted that AI will affect almost 40% of jobs around the world, “replacing some and complementing others,” but potentially worsening income inequality overall.
Speaking on the same panel as Altman, moderated by CNN’s Fareed Zakaria, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff said AI was not at a point of replacing human beings but rather augmenting them.
As an example, Benioff cited a Gucci call center in Milan that saw revenue and productivity surge after workers started using Salesforce’s AI software in their interactions with customers.
