Online reports that Reddit is in talks to use Sam Altman's Worldcoin iris scanning device Orb. According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID may soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform. Talks between representatives from Reddit and World ID parent company Tools for Humanity highlighted the growing market for new authentication technologies as artificial intelligence fills online platforms with fake content, and governments around the world are considering new age verification laws to prevent children and teenagers from accessing social media. If World ID becomes one of Reddit's third-party providers, it will be good news for Tools for Humanity, an organization founded six years ago with the noble goal of providing universal basic income by providing a cryptocurrency called Worldcoin to the world in exchange for using Orb to scan eyeballs.
