I think we need less technology. Can we have a de-tech movement? Life-saving tech is fine but enough is enough with software, AI, surveillance, etc. It's too much. It's been too much for the past twenty years or so.

Judging solely by their FAQ, this is not enough. Iris photos can be fabricated client-side, including by AI, and can be shared. So it's invasive AND worthless? Why is this getting support? You need an offline/IRL verification step and measures to prevent sharing/cloning. AND you need to never phone home revealing services you're using. Total garbage Proof of human verification powered by the Orb only involves one typ…
That's what the orb thing is about. You go visit, meet humans, have a photo of your eyes. You can't just hold up an AI photo or scan your dog or whatever.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Or like, have chronological feed of accounts user follows. Simple. Produces less outrage tho, so it is a no go.
This assumes that most people would choose that feed? Which, I'm less convinced. That is, this sounds like the idea that telling people if bad things happen when you eat too much candy, then people will eat less candy. Just flat not the case at large. Yes, you also have to document the downsides of candy. Such that I'm also all for having that feed. But I don't see it being enough to move the needle much, on its own.
Seems like there's an effect but it just takes time. The younger generations are smoking and drinking less.
Maybe the trend will be to abstain from social media feeds and chronological feeds will be their Zima.
As if I needed another reason to despise this continent. Who actually wants to uphold, work for, and build these systems in our society? This is seriously the kind of nation you want to inhabit?

This is an odd topic. On the one hand, we do seem to have a problem where attention is hijacked by engagement farming. On the other, we also know of problems from draconian management. I would actually like it if we had something that could say, only promote things on my feeds that are "liked" by people within a geographic radius of me. At the least, mute things that are getting pumped from hostile regions. I just do…
Ugh, really? I live in a part of town where I speak a different language than the vast majority of the people in this "geographic radius of me" which means I'd see very little content that I could understand.
Where do people come up with these wild ideas of anything other than show me the content of people I want to see in the order it was posted? If you want a "Feeling Lucky" type of feed, make it available. Otherwise, you're sending people content they don't want and are only too lazy to stop using it.

My personal line doesn't go back 20 years. But I think a lot of people can relate.

I tried to track down the original source of the news that World ID is being adopted by Zoom and Tinder and DocuSign and it looks like it's an event they hosted on April 17th. Here's their blog post about it: https://world.org/blog/announcements/the-new-world-id-and-th... There were more logos on that title slide: Tinder, DocuSign, Zoom, Okta, Vercel, Shopify, Browsnerbase, AWS, exa, RAZER, Coinbase, VanEck
You mean to tell me that companies that got rich by hoarding data are excited to hoard more data? Never would have guessed. Also, why wouldn't anyone want to have data about everyone? Seems like a valuable asset.
