Parlamento aprova aumento da dedução das rendas no IRS em nova coligação negativa

Um CEO, um filósofo do metaverso e um "geek": quem são os "pais" da Worldcoin?

Sam Altman, Max Novendstern e Alex Blania criaram a Worldcoin em 2019, uma organização que se tornou um fenómeno em vários países do mundo. Com percursos distintos, os fundadores da Worldcoin têm algo em comum: a paixão pela blockchain e pela inteligência artificial.

Worldcoin is a potential privacy nightmare that offers a biometrics-dependent vision of digital identity and cryptocurrency, and would place Sam Altman’s Tools for Humanity company at the center of digital governance. Worldcoin’s approach creates serious privacy risks by bribing the poorest and most vulnerable people to turn over unchangeable biometrics like iris scans and facial recognition images in exchange for a small payout. Mass collections of biometrics like Worldcoin threaten people’s privacy on a grand scale, both if the company misuses the information it collects, and if that data is stolen. Ultimately, Worldcoin wants to become the default digital ID and a global currency without democratic buy-in at the start, that alone is a compelling reason not to turn over your biometrics, personal information, and geolocation data to a private company. We urge regulatory agencies around the world to closely scrutinize Worldcoin.

Worldcoin isn’t as bad as it sounds: It’s worse
Worldcoin is no radical new financial system, and certainly not one aimed at equality or fairness

Incredibly, Worldcoin was unprepared for an obvious consequence of this rollout strategy: A black market for verified credentials. You can now seemingly buy a World ID for as little as $30. Anyone, then, with more than $30 on hand can command more than one digital identity (although Worldcoin is aware of this issue and has proposed solutions to resolve it). Connecting real people to digital identities is a thorny puzzle.

Worldcoin does not fix this. And it’s unlikely it ever can, since nothing in the design can stop professional sybil attackers farming eyeballs on the ground level through nefarious means.

It’s a curious ‘world’ coin that isn’t even available in the United States, Turkey, Sudan, or China. And if equal distribution is a goal, allocating a significant chunk of all the tokens that will ever exist to insiders is another curious choice. Early documentation put that insider number at twenty percent; it’s now slated to be at least twenty-five.

Who are these insiders? It’s some combination of Worldcoin developers and their partners, Orb operators (with signup bonuses that exhibit a pyramid-like structure), and a slate of (in)famous investors including Sam Bankman-Fried and Three Arrows Capital. Such self-dealing is not the plan one would expect, to put the point mildly, from an operation with genuine egalitarian ambitions.

Boa explicação do que é, mas não fala muito sobre os riscos. Podemos imaginar, mas é pena não terem desenvolvido mais um pouco.
