Even if you assume good-intent from Sam Altman’s WorldCoin (I don’t, but let’s play dystopian’s advocate here), the problem they claim they are trying to solve is ultimately a category error:
The only UBI you need in a physical-resources constrained reality is deflation.
The only credit score system you need in an AI- is organic web-of-trust like emergent systems.
The solutions the WorldCoin team claims to be solving are only problems that exist in the delusional, paternalistic worldview of a technocrat.

Kill that Shitcoin with fire.
So many technological proposals, so little understanding of human action and natural law.

Absolutely no use for that coin.
Il surfe juste sur quelque chose que certains ont déjà notamment dans les grands aeroports du Monde . Je me demande même s'il ne va pas collaborer avec l'EU pour la monnaie numérique Cash + qui sortait en 2027
The Haber-Bosch method was used for war, to expand "lebensraum" as land was used for primary energy. Therefore agrarian land was a primary constraint of empire which morphed into cultural assumptions about expansion.
They could not imagine that the Haber-Bosch process made land grabs practically obsolete for the expansion of primary energy. Culture did not catch up.
Same is happening with AI now. Assumptions about labor, identity, etc, leading to strange "solutions" due to culture not catching up.
Futureshock.
That's not true. It has a very normal shitcoin use case: make the founders and VCs rich when they dump in retail.
