But, since Worldcoin is battling this supposedly inevitable slippery slope, it's in the news. Yawn.
Just having the aim to tackle the problem of verifying humanity isn't enough to put it in the news. What really highlighted the project in the news is one of the project's founders also being the CEO of OpenAI (Sam Altman / @sama - idk who owns the stackernews account though). Having the leader of the company with the most advanced language model (that's know to us) also leading a project trying to unify the world under one currency built on a blockchain already suspected by many to already be under regulatory capture.
Undergirding UBI proponents' thoughts is the notion that life is not fair and that some people get more of the good stuff than others. Effort, work, or any other factor aside, that's not fairTM.
The notion of UBI isn't to inherently eliminate wealth disparity entirely, it's to raise the wellbeing of the lower rungs.
And, best yet, it's free! The WLD coin/money just comes to you, from nowhere. I couldn't find the actual tokenomics, the emission/distribution or inflation of WLD as it's not front-and-center on their website.
+1, I also can't find anything about the tokenomics besides individuals receiving some WLD for signing up
You'd think they'd just brush us aside, or put us to work for them and give us only a basic, basic sustenance...just enough to sustain our life so we can do whatever work they want us to do for them.
"whatever work they want us to do for them" is a human-centric view of AI that thinks the mechanism used for training will yield "wants". I think the biggest critics of open AI development are warning against malfunctions that aren't as clear as being a directly noticeable motive.
