Lemmy gonna get crowded soon

[–] SuperSaiyanSwag@lemmy.zip 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I wish. I have noticed that I don’t see many Lenny endorsements anymore, I wonder if they remove those (I know my comment has been removed couple of times).

I mean, come on. We shit on redditors, but even redditors won't stand for getting their iris's scanned just to use the site..

[–] terminhell@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

I think you dropped this: /s

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 19 points 1 week ago

I would not ponder this orb

According to two people familiar with the matter, World ID could soon become a way for Reddit users to verify that they are unique individuals while remaining anonymous on the platform.

Reddit knowing who I am isn't okay though. Who tf trusts them?

[–] Brewchin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

What?! Think of the shareholder value! /s

[–] ryannathans@aussie.zone 16 points 1 week ago

Create a problem

Sell the solution

[–] bimbimboy@lemmy.eco.br 14 points 1 week ago (1 children)

That is perhaps the only orb I care not to ponder.

[–] sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 week ago

I'm sorry Dave, I can't let you post that.

[–] misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 1 week ago

They are not all accounted for, the lost seeing stones. We do not know who else may be watching.

[–] jjlinux@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 week ago

These companies are really seeing how far they can get away with shit. It's mind blowing.

[–] SonOfAntenora@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Just no. I use reddit because it's pseudonimous. I would never reveal my id on reddit of all places, regardless of how useful it can be.

I hope they do this, it'd make the APIopolypse look like a practice run.

[–] Plebcouncilman@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I’m 100% for technological advancement and even AI.

They will have to rip my fucking eyes out before I let them scan them with this thing.

[–] NoForwardslashS@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Be well Simon Phoenix

Your iris/fingerprint scanner is only secure until someone is willing to rip out an eyeball/finger.

[–] Kowowow@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

Or counterfits good enough beat the scanner someone is willing to pay for, a bank might have a super good system but would all the other branches that would use something like this, would even an ATM in a bad neighbourhood has as good of a scanner as one in a higher class area if they can save some money?

[–] inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Adam ruined reddit.

(Go with me on the joke, reddit was ruined long long time ago. Adam did an endorsement of Orb a few weeks back, got called out and did an apology.)

I'M STILL BLAMING CONOVER THO

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 5 points 1 week ago

It was so weird that he even did that.

I heard this news a couple years ago. No chance in hell it happens

[–] timewarp@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

I think the appropriate headline should be:

"Reddit in talks to embrace iris-scanning Orb to verify users created by man alleged by his own sister to have molested her throughout her childhood beginning at age 3."

[–] dkn2038@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

they already have too much info from their users, same as facebook... years ago things like this were heavily rejected (like PIPA act when the SOPA almost happened)

[–] Linktank@lemmy.today 6 points 1 week ago

Glad I left that shithole.

... and they're gonna need a bone marrow sample to verify

[–] kamenlady@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

The one Orb you don't ponder.

[–] KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

lol. That stupid Orb thing is still around?

[–] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

No human needs this, this is the march of the companies against humanity.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 week ago

And you need to donate a kidney.

Hey, it's reddit, it'll be worth it to see all those ai bots talk to eachother, Right?
