World currency, Sam Altman’s cryptocurrency venture, is now integrating its verification services into popular apps like Reddit, Discord, Shopify, Mercado Libre, Telegram, and Minecraft. The move is part of Altman Identifying the world 2.0which calls itself “a human passport to the Internet”.

“Apps can now allow you to verify existing accounts to apply a verification status, such as a blue checkmark,” Worldcoin said in a blog post Wednesday. “They can also optionally enable World ID as a sign-in method for a more seamless experience.”

If you’ve never heard of Worldcoin, buckle up. Worldcoin is the cryptocurrency project of the CEO of OpenAI, which aims to redistribute wealth to the people after AI captures all the money in the world. Login to Worldcoin with a eyeball scan through a giant metal ball (stay with me), so the company hopes to become the Internet’s default verification system, too. Users of major internet platforms like Minecraft and Shopify can now “verify their humanity” with World ID, and Altman’s vision for Worldcoin has taken a step closer to reality.

So we’re all on the same page: Sam Altman, the man who is creating artificial intelligence (ChatGPT) also wants to verify your identity (World ID) and create your new financial system (Worldcoin).

A Worldcoin blog post says Wednesday’s updates “cement World ID as humanity’s most secure, private and inclusive proof.” If you thought the OpenAI mess was getting all of Sam Altman’s attention, you were wrong.

Verification is one of the newest and most worrying trends in technology. Elon Musk asks users to be verified on X in order to use it Grok, its AI chatbot. This comes at a cost of around $20 per month and identity verification. Altman’s system requires you to sacrifice your personal data and adhere to his vision of wealth redistribution. If your product makes Elon Musk’s X look safe, that should be cause for concern.

Worldcoin has released a entire app store of platforms integrated with its verification technology. Not surprisingly, many of these early adopters are fintech companies, such as Shopify and Mercado Libre, which may one day adopt Worldcoin as a legitimate payment service. However, it hasn’t arrived yet.

Minecraft is a surprising participant in this list, as stated by the creator of the platform, Mojang Studios pulling Bitcoin payments in September. The popular video game briefly included a “play to earn” option, where users could earn cryptocurrency by playing Minecraft on certain servers, but Mojang Studios removed it from the platform after less than a year. Minecraft’s integration with Worldcoin doesn’t include cryptocurrency, but it’s a sign that it might one day.
