I think WorldCoin is more popular with the Third World, who simultaneously are more willing to spam and less concerned about rights. Should have called it ThirdWorldCoin. The prophet having renown away from home etc /s
Hey, you folks who are willing to pay to be part of a vetted community? Looks like Sam Altman’s WorldCoin, which is about verifiable identity, might just become a viable business. ChatGPT’s role in that strategy makes more sense now.. remember Altman is behind OpenAI? If this is part of his strategy to monopolize internet comments, then his next step is to have ChatGPT recognize its own outputs. (To deal with those WorldCoiners who abuse ChatGPT, for example.)
It’s clear by the ratings that The Peripheral, based on Gibson, but also an AmazonVideo product, has Rings of Power beat by a significant margin. And “The P” was the underdog here. So theres a chance that AppleTV+ (as well as AV) will learn from that and steer clear of the more obvious mistakes.
Anybody has a good estimate of how much this kind of home fab can cost? I am trying to do this in my own apartment (its going very slowly heh) and I estimate it would be USD100000. USD10000 would be barely believable if I can get that broken electron microscope for the same price he did. ($1000). Seems like the vacuum system would be the most expensive part. Another one would be random consumables (vacuum grease, oil, chemicals etc). I am trying to start with the most trivial part from his videos, which seems to be the wirebonder, and thats already like a few hundred minimum.
