Tommy Shelby reports on Sam Altman's Worldcoin, a venture that scans your eyeballs for crypto, identity, and perhaps, a bit more control than anyone's comfortable with.

The Devil's in the Digits

Right so Altman he's come up with a new scheme. Not content with just AI he wants your eyeballs. Claims it's for 'identity verification' and fighting 'fraud.' Sounds like another way to keep tabs on us all doesn't it? They call it Worldcoin. You let them scan your eyes and they give you some crypto. Free money they say. There's always a price eh? Remember 'Everyone's a whore Grace. We just sell different parts of ourselves.'

Orbs and Opportunities

They're setting up shop in the States Austin Atlanta Los Angeles Nashville Miami San Francisco. Six locations. Like opening a betting shop but instead of your money they want a scan of your bloody peepers. Thirty seconds they say. Quick in and out. But what are they really looking for? And who's really in charge once they have what they want?

Visa's in Bed With 'Em

Visa's climbing into bed with Altman. World Visa Card they're calling it. Exclusive to the eye scanned. Means they'll be tracking your spending knowing your identity. Banks governments now Altman. The walls are closing in eh? The Match Group are testing it with Tinder in Japan. Helping people find love and have their retina scanned. Interesting pair.

No OpenAI Link They Say

Altman spoke at an event about this venture. Said there was no link between OpenAI and Worldcoin. Never trust a man in a suit. They always have something to hide.

Data Data Everywhere Nor Any Safe to Store

They claim the data is decentralized impossible to reverse engineer. Don't insult my intelligence. Everything can be broken. They're splitting it up hiding it in 'financial institutions' and 'blockchain institutions.' Like a cat burying its waste. But who is the cat? And who will make them clean up the mess?

One Billion Eyeballs by 2023? Missed the Mark Did They?

They aimed for a billion users by last year. Seems they fell short. Probably couldn't con enough people into handing over their eyes. But they're still trying. Twenty six million already scanned across Europe South America Asia Pacific. They're relentless. It's like I always say 'Whiskey's good proofing water. Tells you who's real and who isn't.'
