Tools for Humanity, a startup co-founded by OpenAI Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman, plans to roll out thousands of eyeball-scanning Orb devices across the US, marking a major expansion for the company and its novel identification services.

Starting this week, people in six US cities, including San Francisco, Los Angeles and Atlanta, will be able to scan their eyes using a spherical orb device at select locations operated by Tools for Humanity’s World project as well as certain partners, the company said at an event late Wednesday. Previously, the technology was only available in the US in a limited testing capacity.

So people are supposed to get excited about voluntarily scanning their eyeballs and giving the data to a private company to prove that they’re a human, to theoretically protect themselves from AI imposters generated by… The same dude’s other company. And people are actually doing it because crypto bribes.

Goddamnit, Black Mirror is supposed to be a cautionary tale, not aspirational. I’m so tired.

the Orb as a powerful tool to verify people’s identities and prove someone is really human at a time when artificial intelligence deepfakes are becoming more convincing.

My goverment ID ( India aadhar card ) already has my my biometric taken using eyes.

And I can verify my identity using eyes.

I don’t understand how this is anything new except it’s private company.
