ORB：Sam Altman的WorldCoin项目如何使用生物识别数据来创建全球身份和财务网络

在短短几个小时内，杰夫将坐下来讨论我们一生中两种最大技术的融合 - 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.

在短短几个小时内，杰夫将坐下来讨论我们一生中两种最大技术的融合 - 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，他还将解释他利用AI的模式追踪力量来利用在看似不可预测的加密市场中的摇摆的策略。

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.

确保您还收集了Jeff的加密牛市路线图，以期在接下来的几个小时内对加密货币市场的期望。当您注册时，我们甚至还会包括他关注的买入加密游戏。

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

您可以去这里注册。我们希望今晚晚上8点在我们开始比赛时见到您。

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

如果有人使用看起来像这样的设备接近您，我最好的建议是转身走开。

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是由无害的人类工具构建的 - 是一种生物识别捕获装置。它旨在捕捉我们的脸部图片并扫描虹膜以创建一个可用于验证我们身份的生物特征识别签名，并且确实是人类。

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.”

该公司将该过程称为“简单，安全且在短短几秒钟内轻松完成”。它有望在其集中式系统上安全地加密和固定我们的生物识别数据，并且“您可以选择在任何时候删除数据。”

Sure.

当然。

A Network for the World(coin)

世界网络（硬币）

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.”

出血边缘的长期读者可能会识别球体。这是与所谓的WorldCoin相关的生物特征识别设备，该工具是一个由Sam Altman领导的区块链项目，其任务“创建大多数人类拥有的全球包容性身份和金融网络”。

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).

该公司通过“人类证明”（POH）的概念建立了技术，这是一种数字身份验证，以确认个人实际上是独特的人类，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.

它更宏伟的愿景是“实现全球民主进程”，并“展示了通往AI资助的UBI的潜在途径”。换句话说，使用数字资产的普遍基本收入。

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.

我已经有一段时间没有关于世界币的文章，因为似乎根本没有发生过太多事情。从我的角度来看，这是一件好事。

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.

但是在过去的一个月左右的时间里，似乎有一些运动。已经筹集了一些新的资本，WorldCoin通过新的网站URL- world.org重新命名为世界。

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.

品牌的一部分还包括发布世界应用程序钱包的启动 - 一种聊天功能，可让世界网络社区中的用户互相发送并发送或接收数字货币。下面的屏幕截图显示了两个人聊天和传输稳定的人-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，这种从世界币到世界的品牌重塑并不意味着“硬币”已经消失了。毕竟，数字硬币是蜜罐。

The Digital Honeypot

数字蜜罐

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.

与几乎所有区块链项目一样，也有一个数字令牌。就世界而言，它是WLD，目前以各种数字资产交易所进行交易，市值现在低于10亿美元。

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被用作吸引毫无戒心的人注册并允许扫描其生物识别的人。作为交换，他们收到了少量的WLD，这些WLD被转移到了世界应用钱包中。

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，该计划推出时，签署后的产品为25 WLD，并在注册后经常出现较小的付款。似乎已经缩减了缩放，但是仍然有货币动机可以注册，无论价值还是很小。

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.

同样，球场将扩展到超过十亿用户。该模型表明，较高的利用率可能会导致WLD的价格更高，因此，当今的注册付款少，WLD的价值可能会大大增长。

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…

我可以想象，Orb操作员可能会对人类在街上人类说的事情，以使人们放弃生物识别技术扫描并加入世界网络…

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

对于那些还不深深不舒服的人，您应该是…

Legitimate Tech, Dubious Motivations

合法的技术，可疑的动机

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).

重要的是要记住，人类工具，世界背后的母公司是一家营利性公司。整个项目背后的人是山姆·奥特曼（Sam Altman），这是人工通用情报（AGI）竞赛中最杰出的人物之一。

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的创始人，我相信我所有的读者都知道，这是建立Frontier AI模型的领导者之一。 Openai以对具有强烈的政治倾向的AI模型进行编程，以对其进行浓厚的偏见而闻名。

There are red flags everywhere.

到处都有危险信号。

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

但是，该技术是合法的。世界上的区块链技术倾向于
