 Sam Altman's eye-scanning Worldcoin banned in Spain | Reuters https://www.reuters.com/markets/currencies/spain-blocks-sam-altmans-eyeball-scanning-venture-worldcoin-ft-reports-2024-03-06/ Well done, Spain. Worldcoin always seemed like a The Onion parody of something so ridiculous that it couldn't possibly be real. 7 comments
  @tek The current crop of "tech geniuses" do a really great job of making otherwise cartoonish movie villains seem totally believable. @funnymonkey True that. Like, grown adults sat around and this was the best idea they came up with.  @tek If only it was a parody, it would be fine. But it is instead a scam preying on people looking for a way out of poverty. @veronica Indeed. It's awful. I'm glad Spain and other countries are blocking it at the national level. |

@tek “Worldcoin is backed by some of the most prominent venture capital names, including a16z crypto and Bain Capital Crypto.” Admittedly I don’t pay attention to the VC world, but do all of the most prominent VC names include the word “crypto?”
