Miguel Afonso Caetano"Yes, you read that right: The Orb combines biometric surveillance and cryptocurrencies, in the form of Worldcoin, a token that has lost 90% of its value after a euphoric peak in 2024. It turns out that speculative currency backed by eyeball scans doesn’t make for a stable business model. Or not yet. Making the Orb and with it Worldcoin a feature of Reddit looks like a great way to change that. Great for Sam Altman.Let’s be clear: The real asset in this setting is not the coin. It is your identity.The Orb is now being pitched as the answer to AI manipulation, bot swarms, and identity fraud – all of which ironically are to a large extent the result of the kind of “innovation”, which Sam Altman helped unleash. And Reddit, the platform targeted in the Zurich study, is now in talks to integrate this system.Even if the crypto payout is not (yet) at the center of the Reddit integration, the system behind it doesn’t change. The Orb wasn’t designed just to verify identity but to lure people into a system that rewards biometric submission with digital tokens.And it’s irreversible: Once you’ve looked into the Orb, you can’t unlook. Your iris is scanned and converted into a code that’s encrypted and split across multiple servers. You’re told it’s anonymized. But the system can recognize you forever. Even if you delete your data, you can’t delete that. And you can’t change your iris like you change a password."<a href="https://baurconsulting.ch/en/a-secret-ai-study-a-biometric-orb-a-new-internet-id/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://baurconsulting.ch/en/a-secret-ai-study-a-biometric-orb-a-new-internet-id/</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/GenerativeAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GenerativeAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/SocialMedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SocialMedia</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Reddit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Reddit</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/OpenAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#OpenAI</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/TheOrb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TheOrb</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Worldcoin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Worldcoin</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Biometrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Biometrics</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Crypto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Crypto</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Cryptocurrencies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Cryptocurrencies</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Surveillance</a>

Miguel Afonso Caetano"As explained in our amicus brief, disclosure is necessary to ensure criminal prosecutions are based on accurate evidence. Every search using face recognition technology presents a unique risk of error depending on various factors from the specific FRT system used, the databases searched, the quality of the photograph, and the demographics of the individual. Study after study shows that facial recognition algorithms are not always reliable, and that error rates spike significantly when involving faces of people of color, especially Black women, as well as trans and nonbinary people.Moreover, these searches often determine the course of investigation, reinforcing errors and resulting in numerous wrongful arrests, most often of Black folks. Discovery is the last chance to correct harm from misidentification and to allow the defendant to understand the evidence against them.Furthermore, the public, including independent experts, have the right to examine the technology used in criminal proceedings. Under the First Amendment and the more expansive New Jersey Constitution corollary, the public’s right to access criminal judicial proceedings includes filings in pretrial proceedings, like the information being sought here. That access provides the public meaningful oversight of the criminal justice system and increases confidence in judicial outcomes, which is especially significant considering the documented risks and shortcomings of FRT."<a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/eff-nj-supreme-court-prosecutors-must-disclose-details-regarding-frt-used-identify" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/06/eff-nj-supreme-court-prosecutors-must-disclose-details-regarding-frt-used-identify</a><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#USA</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/NJ" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NJ</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/FacialRecognition" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FacialRecognition</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Surveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Surveillance</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PoliceState</a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Biometrics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Biometrics</a>
