This Eyeball Orb Wants to Save Us From AI | Hello World with Ashlee Vance

[@ideapage]

The eye doc installed a tiny tube into the iris of one of my eyes to relive excess internal pressure. It goes around about one quarter of my iris. I'll bet this would tell the eye-scanner I am not who I say I am. "What d you mean, 'I can't have my Bitcoin?'"

[@MrAuswest]

EXACTLY! Have they even bothered to check how the human iris changes over time? and what sort of process do you put in place to check you ARE who you say you are if your pattern alters due to disease, operations, accidents, eye injuries etc, etc??

Super fascinating tech, Ashlee. Seems like the business model will evolve, but sometimes you have to take a leap forward and build the hardware to be ready to service the software shift that occurs in the blink of an eye.

[@discordantdreamsart4354]

This looks like it was inspired by Poke Balls and the Phantasm movie franchise. I wouldn't be surprised if this will be used for war, segregation and exploration. They would be equipped with lasers and interact with neural implants to zap the enemy into death, dementia or submission. They can also be used as a bot swarm sent to analyze Mars and evolve some kind of angelic or demomic AI soul technology. They could be like pets or private bodyguards that zap augmented reality or holograms to fight eachother to protect you. They could be spies exchanging information. They could regulate invisible borders and concentration camps, compounds or estates.

[@jima4971]

[@p-j-y-d]

From the whitepaper: ...inherent to biometric algorithms is the false acceptance of a user. The false acceptance rate is largely dependent upon the system's capacity to detect presentation attacks, which are attempts to deceive or spoof the verification process. While no biometric system is entirely impervious to such attacks, the important metric is the effort required for a successful attack. This consideration was fundamental to the conception of the Orb. Developing the Orb was a decision that did not come lightly. It represented a high-cost endeavor. However, from first principles, it was required to build the most inclusive yet secure verification of humanness and uniqueness. The Orb is designed to verify uniqueness with high accuracy, even in hostile contexts where the presence of malicious actors cannot be excluded. To accomplish this, the Orb is equipped with every viable camera sensor spanning the electromagnetic spectrum, complemented by suitable multispectral illumination. This enables the device to differentiate between fraudulent spoofing attempts and legitimate human interactions with a high degree of accuracy. The Orb is further equipped with a powerful computing unit to run several neural networks concurrently in real-time. These algorithms operate locally on the Orb to validate humaneness, while safeguarding user privacy. While no hardware system interacting with the physical world can achieve perfect security, the Orb is designed to set a high bar, particularly in defending against scalable attacks. The anti-fraud measures integrated into the Orb are refined constantly.

What intrigues me, as someone from the global south… is how some Westerners will pour a billion into a complex, but not apex problem. And ironically not use that same money to solve a simple actual apex problem. What do l mean? Here are two problems 1. Identity in the wake of AI (complex, non-Apex problem). 2. Lack of decent wages in the global south (simple, Apex problem). Someone will ask me, how have you categorized the two problems? Well AI identity is a future issue…it’s not yet ubiquitous. Illegal migration from the global south to the west due to seeking perceived “greener pastures” IS a real current issue for both the global south and the west. Ironically, these tech industries multinationals utilize a lot of raw materials from the global south… which they exploit the labor markets to extract it at the cheapest possible price… to bring these materials over to the west for value addition to solve a future problem of their own creation. And we wonder why we are projecting a dystopian future? It’s a self fulfilling scenario, we are actively pursuing at breakneck speeds. Well. Don’t mind me. I’m just a Afrikan from (what did Trump call it?)…a feculence cavity country.

I understand what you mean, these should be taken on by the government, but the type of governance a country has adopted makes this significantly more complex. Of the ~200 countries, there is a full spectrum of desire for monitoring from a advanced technology state such as China to a country with no infrastructure (thus no desire assumed) such as some of the oceanic countries. The last comment in the video was the most enlightening. Trading privacy for security is in our future and is likely inevitable. As a people, we will need to take multiple stabs at this problem and this shiny orb might indeed be a likely future.

They just told you that they will not keep the data of your irises. In fact, it never really gets stored, it only goes through the Ethereum decentralized chain (that is being held up by a few different computer devices across the globe by the PEOPLE) to verify that you're a human.

[@juanselobo]

This kind of gives me the same vibe as that rabbit R1 thing-it could just be a phone app. It’s more obvious when they say we need a flashy design. Honestly, the orb doesn’t matter much to me; what’s important is the crypto if they actually want it to be a real currency. I know the tech is more secure than facial recognition, but in the end, it feels pretty similar. The whole ‘figuring out if you're an AI or not’ thing just sounds dumb. The only AI scams I’ve seen are those fake Joe Rogan or Elon Musk ads, and in real life, that’s a stretch. Most humanoid robots are teleoperated anyway. Feels like these people have watched too many sci-fi movies or, worse, maybe they have darker intentions and are just playing with these sci-fi ideas the public already has.
