ORB：Sam Altman的WorldCoin項目如何使用生物識別數據來創建全球身份和財務網絡

在短短幾個小時內，傑夫將坐下來討論我們一生中兩種最大技術的融合 - 人工智能和加密。

In just a few hours, Jeff will sit down to discuss the convergence of two of the biggest technologies of our lifetimes - artificial intelligence and crypto.

在短短幾個小時內，傑夫將坐下來討論我們一生中兩種最大技術的融合 - 人工智能和加密。

Plus, he’ll explain his strategy for leveraging the pattern-tracking power of AI to take advantage of swings in the seemingly unpredictable crypto market.

另外，他還將解釋他利用AI的模式追踪力量來利用在看似不可預測的加密市場中的搖擺的策略。

Make sure you also collect Jeff's Crypto Bull Market Roadmap for what he expects for the crypto market over the next few hours. When you sign up, we'll even include a buy-and-hold crypto play he's got his eye on.

確保您還收集了Jeff的加密牛市路線圖，以期在接下來的幾個小時內對加密貨幣市場的期望。當您註冊時，我們甚至還會包括他關注的買入加密遊戲。

You can go here to sign up. We hope to see you tonight at 8 p.m. when we're kicking things off.

您可以去這裡註冊。我們希望今晚晚上8點在我們開始比賽時見到您。

If anyone, anyone approaches you with a device that looks like this, my best advice is to turn around and walk away.

如果有人使用看起來像這樣的設備接近您，我最好的建議是轉身走開。

The Orb - built by the innocuous-sounding company Tools for Humanity - is a biometric capture device. It is designed to capture a picture of our face and scan our iris to create a biometric signature that can be used to verify our identity and that we are, indeed, human.

Orb是由無害的人類工具構建的 - 是一種生物識別捕獲裝置。它旨在捕捉我們的臉部圖片並掃描虹膜以創建一個可用於驗證我們身份的生物特徵識別簽名，並且確實是人類。

The company pitches the process as being “simple, safe, and easily done in just a few seconds.” It promises that our biometric data is safely encrypted and secured on its centralized systems and that “you can choose to delete your data at any point.”

該公司將該過程稱為“簡單，安全且在短短幾秒鐘內輕鬆完成”。它有望在其集中式系統上安全地加密和固定我們的生物識別數據，並且“您可以選擇在任何時候刪除數據。”

Sure.

當然。

A Network for the World(coin)

世界網絡（硬幣）

Longtime readers of The Bleeding Edge will probably recognize the Orb. It’s the biometric device linked to what was known as Worldcoin - a Sam Altman-led blockchain project with a “mission of creating a globally inclusive identity and financial network, owned by the majority of humanity.”

出血邊緣的長期讀者可能會識別球體。這是與所謂的WorldCoin相關的生物特徵識別設備，該工具是一個由Sam Altman領導的區塊鏈項目，其任務“創建大多數人類擁有的全球包容性身份和金融網絡”。

The company has built its technology with a concept of “Proof of Human” (PoH), a digital identity verification to confirm that an individual is actually a unique human and not an artificial intelligence (AI).

該公司通過“人類證明”（POH）的概念建立了技術，這是一種數字身份驗證，以確認個人實際上是獨特的人類，而不是人工智能（AI）。

Its even grander vision is to “enable global democratic processes” and “show a potential path to AI-funded UBI.” In other words, universal basic income using a digital asset.

它更宏偉的願景是“實現全球民主進程”，並“展示了通往AI資助的UBI的潛在途徑”。換句話說，使用數字資產的普遍基本收入。

I haven’t written about Worldcoin in quite some time because there just didn’t seem to be much going on at all. That was a good thing from my perspective.

我已經有一段時間沒有關於世界幣的文章，因為似乎根本沒有發生過太多事情。從我的角度來看，這是一件好事。

But in the last month or so, it appears there has been some movement. Some new capital has been raised, and Worldcoin has been rebranded to just World with a new website URL - world.org.

但是在過去的一個月左右的時間裡，似乎有一些運動。已經籌集了一些新的資本，WorldCoin通過新的網站URL- world.org重新命名為世界。

Part of the rebrand has also included the launch of the World app wallet - a chat function that allows users in the World Network community to both message one another and send or receive digital currencies. The screenshot below demonstrates two humans chatting and transmitting a stablecoin - USDC.

品牌的一部分還包括發布世界應用程序錢包的啟動 - 一種聊天功能，可讓世界網絡社區中的用戶互相發送並發送或接收數字貨幣。下面的屏幕截圖顯示了兩個人聊天和傳輸穩定的人-USDC。

But this rebranding from Worldcoin to World doesn’t mean the “coin” has gone away. After all, the digital coin is the honeypot.

但是，這種從世界幣到世界的品牌重塑並不意味著“硬幣”已經消失了。畢竟，數字硬幣是蜜罐。

The Digital Honeypot

數字蜜罐

As with almost all blockchain projects, there is a digital token. In the case of World, it’s WLD, which currently trades on a variety of digital asset exchanges with a market capitalization just shy of $1 billion right now.

與幾乎所有區塊鏈項目一樣，也有一個數字令牌。就世界而言，它是WLD，目前以各種數字資產交易所進行交易，市值現在低於10億美元。

WLD is used as a lure to get unsuspecting humans to sign up and allow their biometrics to be scanned. In exchange, they receive a small amount of WLD which is transferred to their World app wallet.

WLD被用作吸引毫無戒心的人註冊並允許掃描其生物識別的人。作為交換，他們收到了少量的WLD，這些WLD被轉移到了世界應用錢包中。

Back in 2023, when the program was rolled out, the offering was 25 WLD for signing up plus some recurring smaller payments after signing up. It appears that has been scaled back, but there is still a monetary incentive to sign up, however small in value that might be.

早在2023年，該計劃推出時，簽署後的產品為25 WLD，並在註冊後經常出現較小的付款。似乎已經縮減了縮放，但是仍然有貨幣動機可以註冊，無論價值還是很小。

Again, the pitch is that the World Network will scale to more than a billion users. The model suggests that higher utilization may result in higher prices for WLD, so however small the signup payments are today, the value of WLD may grow significantly.

同樣，球場將擴展到超過十億用戶。該模型表明，較高的利用率可能會導致WLD的價格更高，因此，當今的註冊付款少，WLD的價值可能會大大增長。

I can imagine the kinds of things that Orb operators might be saying to humans on the street to get people to give up their biometrics scans and join the World Network…

我可以想像，Orb操作員可能會對人類在街上人類說的事情，以使人們放棄生物識別技術掃描並加入世界網絡…

For anyone who isn’t deeply uncomfortable yet, you should be…

對於那些還不深深不舒服的人，您應該是…

Legitimate Tech, Dubious Motivations

合法的技術，可疑的動機

It’s important to remember that Tools for Humanity, the parent company behind World is a for-profit company. And the person behind this whole project is Sam Altman, one of the most prominent figures in the race to artificial general intelligence (AGI).

重要的是要記住，人類工具，世界背後的母公司是一家營利性公司。整個項目背後的人是山姆·奧特曼（Sam Altman），這是人工通用情報（AGI）競賽中最傑出的人物之一。

Altman is a founder of OpenAI, which I believe all my readers know, is one of the leaders in building frontier AI models. OpenAI is well known for programming heavy bias into its AI models with strong political leanings.

Altman是OpenAI的創始人，我相信我所有的讀者都知道，這是建立Frontier AI模型的領導者之一。 Openai以對具有強烈的政治傾向的AI模型進行編程，以其濃厚的偏見而聞名。

There are red flags everywhere.

到處都有危險信號。

The technology, however, is legitimate. World’s blockchain technology leans heavily

但是，該技術是合法的。世界上的區塊鏈技術傾向於
