Hey, you folks who are willing to pay to be part of a vetted community? Looks like Sam Altman’s WorldCoin, which is about verifiable identity, might just become a viable business. ChatGPT’s role in that strategy makes more sense now.. remember Altman is behind OpenAI? If this is part of his strategy to monopolize internet comments, then his next step is to have ChatGPT recognize its own outputs. (To deal with those WorldCoiners who abuse ChatGPT, for example.)

The current state of crypto is such that I wouldn't trust anything crypto-related with my video game saves, let alone my identity.

I think WorldCoin is more popular with the Third World, who simultaneously are more willing to spam and less concerned about rights. Should have called it ThirdWorldCoin. The prophet having renown away from home etc /s

I still trust my private wallet. Everything else was normie scam BS piled on top of crypto repeating the sin of centralization. Good that it burned down.
