Sam Altman's Eye-Scanning Orbs Can Now be Summoned 'Like a Pizza', Say Worldcoin Execs
Briefly

"We need more orbs, lots more orbs, probably on the order of 1,000 more orbs than we have today," said chief designer Rich Heley. "Not only more orbs, but more orbs in more places." This statement highlights the ambitious growth strategy of World, reflecting the eagerness to enhance their iris-scanning technology across various locations to achieve broader acceptance and utility in identity verification.
"Of course, they won't have used an orb so we won't really know they're human, we just know they're a thing that has a passport," said Chief Information Security Officer Adiran Ludwig. This underscores the limitations of the alternative onboarding process that utilizes government IDs, emphasizing the challenge of ensuring true identity verification without the orb's technology.
"It will be faster to build with fewer parts, faster to run with better chips, and run on open source code," said co-founder Alex Blania about Orb 2.0. This statement illustrates the technological advancements planned for their identity verification mechanism and shows a commitment to improving efficiency and accessibility.
"People will also be able to summon orbs to their home through an app, 'much like a pizza,'" Heley said. This analogy highlights the innovative and user-friendly approach World is adopting to make access to their identity verification technology approachable and commonplace, integrating it into everyday life.
