Black Mirror-esque vibes aside, this project assumes that humanity is useless and hopeless, and that we've already lost the battle with AI.
I think this view is incredibly pessimistic - we're a creative bunch of apes, and we'll manage to find ways to have thriving economies even if most or all regular jobs do end up being automated.

Going to be hard to pull off. I'm surprised Sam Altman doesn't have the foresight to see that in a world where no one trusts institutions no one will willingly pay to scan their eyeballs without an obvious value proposition. Most people don't even understand Bitcoin yet
As a technology anthropologist who's helped many companies bring software/hardware products to market, this is unlikely to succeed for several reasons. Growing mistrust of biometrics as a whole, the general market has zero trust for crypto right now, neither this hardware nor blockchain can scale at what would be needed at a societal level. I could go on.

I love worldcoin and it's all initiative on universal verification through different touchpoints i love how they've already implemented as a login forms in a lot of apps.
