in the world of ORB the people that can paint an eye are king

the Orb can tell if you are trying to deceive it and will punish you

quote:

Spoofing attacks involve presenting the Orb with modified, fake, or non-human irises. For example, an attacker might show the Orb a photo of an iris or an animal iris, hoping to generate a unique IrisHash. To defend against attacks like this, we’ve equipped the Orb with a suite of multi-spectral sensors and custom fraud-detection algorithms. This advanced anti-spoofing system complements the iris imaging system, and operates locally on each device.

also they answered my question finally:

quote:

The Orb is also resilient to various forms of tampering, including attempts to modify its software, extract its cryptographic secrets, or disable its anti-spoofing system. This resilience is critical, since any of these intrusions might allow a hacker to generate fraudulent IrisHashes. The Orb’s embedded systems reliably detect advanced attacks of this kind, and prevent corresponding fraud.

so yes, this is all privately controlled and the only way to access the network is via the Orb, fantastic

e:

quote:

To further increase the difficulty of an attack, Orbs will be remotely monitored and compared to other Orbs. Such monitoring is based on non-biometric metadata from the Orb, including battery level, temperature, and network strength. Anomalies will be flagged and lead to Orbs being deactivated. This anomaly detection happens in a controlled environment in the cloud and therefore comes with higher security guarantees than device-level spoof and tamper detection.

attempting to tamper with or disable an Orb will be detected by the Orb Collective and dealt with harshly

Hmmmm I bet that website will totally still exist 1 year from now, still in the planning phase of solving the longstanding problem of "unique-humanness" which magnify the potential intelligence of this kind of SOCI at least as much as the neocortex magnified the intelligence of the mammalian brain.

And whoever gets there first will "win" in a fashion that is rarely seen in history.

what are you talking about they already solved it and have production models of Orb ready to go, get in on the ground floor with Orb today before it's too late to get on its good side

it is and it's the same loving problem with every blockchain "solution" that tries to map to real world objects: the blockchain only records the movement of numbers, it can't do the hard part which is guaranteeing that those correspond to anything in the real world

It’s a “complicated math problem,” which means it can be solved by entering a specific random number in a plain-text notepad file to verify that I am Napoleon “on the blockchain,” making it undeniable!

pregnant women, the elderly and children under 10 should avoid prolonged exposure to orb

caution: orb may suddenly accelerate to dangerous speeds

orb contains a proprietary secure core, which, if exposed due to rupture, should not be touched, inhaled or looked at

discontinue use or orb if any of the following occurs:
  • itching
  • vertigo
  • dizziness
  • tingling in extremities
  • loss of balance or coordination
  • slurred speech
  • temporary blindness
  • profuse sweating
  • heart palpitations

if orb begins to smoke, get away immediately. seek shelter and cover head

when not in use, orb should be returned to it's special container and kept under refrigeration. failure to do so relieves the makers of orb, worldcoin incorporated, of any and all liability

the composition of orb includes an unknown glowing substance which fell to earth, presumably from outer space

It sounds like the orb eats your eyes and a QR code that maps to a wallet, to consider that QR code as belonging to a unique person. So if someone gets you to present the wrong QR code, your eyes belong to their wallet now and you can never be considered a unique person.

I posted last year about how I had a bit of anxiety about this. People with honest to God real amounts of money can manipulate poo poo. Even the “essential” poo poo. It wouldn’t even have to cost a lot of money: The NSA, Microsoft, and Amazon server farms could decide to grab a 51% mining share with their server farms and change everything, including the balances of every exchange and personal wallet. And the infrastructure is already there and paid for… no capital needed except someone to write the software. And there is nothing anyone could do to stop it. It wouldn’t even be illegal because regulation in the space doesn’t really exist except a wrist slap if Biden’s accountant messed up reporting the taxes. I don’t think RICO works, either: is it against the law if you form a conspiracy to do something, um, legal? Every time the Girl Scouts get together to sell cookies breaks the law I guess.

It scares me because my Papa John left a generous amount in his will to pay for my Granny’s care at home. While I laugh at the coin shenanigans, some 27 year old true believer is trying to cover up his loss of half of her retirement and housing American dollars by doubling down on the same process and losing all of it. Institutions see easily manipulated gains in an area only their techbros in the mailroom talk about, and millions and billions are suddenly exposed to real risk of vanishing overnight. Some of these idiots get influence with politicians and suddenly Appleton doesn’t have police, fire, or money for subsidized utilities in the projects and the Country Club. That poo poo could be worse than nuclear winter, just because we can’t afford to harvest wheat, much less buy gas to truck it to the cities. We could have the worst famine in history with billions of tons of rice rotting in a field in Louisiana while New Orleans starves. Anybody dipping their pinky toe in these waters with a hedge fund’s capital should be smacked down. HARD. Even Madoff only devastated a small amount of people who may have lost $100M in one afternoon, but the vastest number of his victim pool weren’t necessarily evicted or inconvenienced much in their standard of living. No elderly couple had to eat dog food under the overpass because even the most brain dead boomer had professional folks to stop that. “Sell your third Learjet, Jeff, we were outbid on the fake meat burger deal!”

It’s not as funny as it used to be.
