Imagine the internet running on eyeball verification—well, Reddit is exploring just that! That’s right, folks: Sam Altman, co-founder of OpenAI and champion of the tech frontier, is rolling out his iris-scanning Orb to help Reddit fend off pesky AI bots.
What does this mean for users? Picture a futuristic landscape where your eyeballs could unlock the secrets of the subreddit universe. With World ID backing Altman’s project, users could verify they’re 100% human (and I mean the biological kind, not the assistance-from-ChatGPT kind) while maintaining anonymity.
Reddit isn’t putting all its eggs in one high-tech basket, though. They’ll also reportedly offer a buffet of alternative verification methods, because why not sprinkle a little chaos into a world already dominated by algorithms?
So, what’s next? Eyeball selfies? As we blend biometric tech and online communities, we should all buckle up; this isn’t just a wild ride—it’s a rollercoaster with a twist! Let me know, would you trust an eyeball scan to keep the bots at bay, or is that a hard pass for you?
