They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones. We do not know who else may be watching.

Lmao No
I would not ponder this orb
Adam ruined reddit.
(Go with me on the joke, reddit was ruined long long time ago. Adam did an endorsement of Orb a few weeks back, got called out and did an apology.)
I'M STILL BLAMING CONOVER THO
It was so weird that he even did that.
So much of what creating privacy busting biometric databases claim to do could be accomplished with speed-of-light geofencing, a.k.a. “distance-bounding protocol”. If a moderator decides messages from country X are problematic, then they can flag/block them for other users. It only requires carefully measuring ping times and basically involves banning traffic from places that can't achieve certain minimum pings to certain trusted servers.
I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you post that.
And you need to donate a kidney.
Hey, it's reddit, it'll be worth it to see all those ai bots talk to eachother, Right?
These companies are really seeing how far they can get away with shit. It's mind blowing.
So this guy helps create a technology that turns bots up to 11 and then he turns around to sell us a privacy invasive solution to the problem he created? What a fucking asshole.
But would it make you feel better to know that there’s also a crypto currency associated with it?

... and they're gonna need a bone marrow sample to verify
YES, PLEASE! DO IT!!! Give people more reasons to leave!!
I mean, come on. We shit on redditors, but even redditors won't stand for getting their iris's scanned just to use the site..
I think you dropped this: /s
scan your eyes to use social media? don't mind if I DONT lol
I will happily forego any/all social media (and never look back) rather than submit to such an idiotic, intrusive, perverse, and disgusting system.
🤦♀️ 🙄 🤡 🖕 💩

No human needs this, this is the march of the companies against humanity.
Ahh so they'll use this to eliminate bots and multi-account trolls right?
right??????!!?!?
According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID could soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform.
Reddit knowing who I am isn't okay though. Who tf trusts them?
What?! Think of the shareholder value! /s
Glad I left that shithole.
I’m 100% for technological advancement and even AI.
They will have to rip my fucking eyes out before I let them scan them with this thing.
Your iris/fingerprint scanner is only secure until someone is willing to rip out an eyeball/finger.
Or counterfits good enough beat the scanner someone is willing to pay for, a bank might have a super good system but would all the other branches that would use something like this, would even an ATM in a bad neighbourhood has as good of a scanner as one in a higher class area if they can save some money?
The one Orb you don't ponder.
I think the appropriate headline should be:
"Reddit in talks to embrace iris-scanning Orb to verify users created by man alleged by his own sister to have molested her throughout her childhood beginning at age 3."
lol. That stupid Orb thing is still around?
That is perhaps the only orb I care not to ponder.
Just no. I use reddit because it's pseudonimous. I would never reveal my id on reddit of all places, regardless of how useful it can be.
