Thanks, all I had to know. Unsurprising.
> EL PAÍS has attempted to obtain the tax status of Tools for Humanity through various channels, without obtaining a response.
Unsurprising.
Yet another currency scam which can be safely added to the current blocklist of shitcoin/altcoin/blockchain/cryptocurrency.
Becuse he's a freak, who the fuck scans people's eyes

A few years ago most people would have said the same about fingerprint reading or face scanning, and yet we're living in a world where it is completely standard now
> The capture of biometric data has become common in contexts of migration, where iris-scanning is a precondition to receiving humanitarian aid. In 2019, the United Nations World Food Program partnered with the firm Palantir to optimize these operations, which today affect 160 million people in 120 countries. Haha what in the hell
Underdeveloped countries remain underdeveloped precisely because of widespread corruption. This kind of authentication is invasive but it makes sense in this context.
So people need to provide retinal scans now - and how does that prevent thugs from robbing/coercing them shortly after?

Altman is banking on the hype of those who are cynical on AI/ML hype dystopia.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

It kinda sounds like increasing from AES-128 to AES-256 as a mitigation when the actual threat is social engineering. So people need to provide retinal scans now - and how does that prevent thugs from robbing/coercing them shortly after?

No it isn't. Ew. If an employer asked to fingerprint me I'd tell them where to stick their scanner.
You know what is "completely standard" now? Governments and corporations leaking terabytes of private information, with barely a shred of accountability.
We need to be pulling this in the exact opposite direction, not normalizing it; and not adding retina scans to the list of insecure biometric data.
Sam Altman needs a swift reality slap.

Not that crazy - corruption and malfeasance are primary risks to your effective yield when trying to distribute aid like that. Middle-men and middle-women inevitably appear, one to one authentication is one way to keep them away.
