A futuristic device called the Worldcoin orb is back in the news. The company behind it just gave out millions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency tokens to those who' ve agreed to let the object scan their irises.
Worldcoin says this is just the beginning, and is in the middle of a world tour to add more eyeball scans to the more than 2 million already collected. And no, this is not a sci-fi movie. The company is really doing this as part of an ambitious project it says will preserve our "humanness" as artificial intelligence takes over more of the world.
