Hold onto your eyeballs, folks! Sam Altman’s Worldcoin has undergone a cosmic transformation, shedding its "coin" to become simply "World."
At a San Francisco shindig, Tools for Humanity, the brains behind this "proof of personhood" project, revealed a snazzy new generation of iris-scanning Orbs. These gizmos promise to prove you're human in a world where AI might soon have us questioning our own reflections!
CEO Alex Blania hinted that the name change signals a broader mission beyond cryptocurrency. Although World and OpenAI are separate ventures, Altman’s fingerprints are all over World’s decisions, with whispers of future collaborations.
World's grand plan? To make sure we can tell humans from bots online, using blockchain for "human verification services." But not everyone’s buying it. With privacy probes from Kenya to the EU, World’s journey has been bumpier than a British country road.

The roadmap? Step one: develop the Orb. Check! Step two: build a blockchain network. Done! Step three: scale up. With 7 million verified humans, World aims to grow this number faster than a viral TikTok dance. The new Orb is sleeker, quicker, and ready to scan peepers at your local café or even at home, thanks to a partnership with delivery giant Rappi.
But wait, there’s more! World’s Deep Face tech aims to tackle deepfakes, and a beta World ID could replace clunky government IDs online. Yet, convincing people to trust a crypto company with their identity might be trickier than herding cats, especially with Altman’s controversial reputation.
So, property pros and business buffs, keep an eye (pun intended) on World’s ambitious plans. Whether it’s the dawn of a new identity era or just another tech fad, only time will tell!
