👁️ Would You Scan Your Eye to Prove You’re Human?

In a world where AI can mimic anyone, how do we prove we’re real people online? Enter Worldcoin—a bold, controversial project co-founded by Sam Altman (yes, the CEO of OpenAI) that aims to solve the growing problem of digital identity in the age of bots.

At the heart of this discussion is the Orb—a sleek, sci-fi-looking device that scans your iris to generate a unique World ID, a privacy-preserving way to verify you’re human without revealing who you are. It’s not just about cryptocurrency anymore—this is about decentralized proof of personhood at a global scale.

In this episode, we unpack:
🔹 What is Worldcoin and how does the Orb work?
🔹 The vision behind proof of personhood in a post-AI world
🔹 What’s behind the rebrand from Worldcoin to World
🔹 Privacy concerns, global rollout, and real-world applications
🔹 Is this the future of digital identity—or a privacy nightmare?

💡 Whether you’re excited or skeptical, one thing’s for sure—you won’t look at identity the same way again.

🎧 Hit play to explore the fascinating, controversial future of human identity—and share this with someone who’s wondering how we’ll survive the AI era.
