Sam Altman's cryptocurrency turned identity verification startup Tools for Humanity is offering a new set of perks to people who scan their eyes at one of the company's orbs.
Sam’s first business was an app tracking each other with you and your friends. It sounded useless at the time but it was probably a precursor idea to surveillance capitalism.

I wanted to build something similar but included a Reddit style posting community.
I ultimately didn’t because the fear of a hostile takeover like what happened at twitter made me rethink allowing such a platform to exist.
I know I wouldn’t use any of the data to monitor users, but there’s no reasonable way to stop others from abusing the system I created.
it would be unethical to create such a system knowing it would eventually fall into some private investment firms hands.
I mean, you could just not sell it.
when a multibillion conglomerate sets their eyes on you, do you really think anything will stop them from acquiring you?
I would rather sabotage the whole product, but what’s stopping any of the devs from taking a copy and building it again for the conglomerate?
you can’t put the genie back in the bottle once you set it free.
