Wait, did Sam Altman’s Worldcoin really try to clout-chase using Bruno Mars? Reports are coming out that the 'Orb' company was out here promoting a massive partnership and tour access with the 24K Magic singer, but his team just shut it down hard. They told reporters they weren't even approached, let alone in discussions.
It’s wild to see a multi-billion dollar tech project get caught in such a blatant 'fake it till you make it' moment. If you're scanning people’s eyeballs for a global ID system, maybe don't start by making up celebrity endorsements? It just makes the whole thing feel sketchy and desperate.
Are we really supposed to trust our biometric data with a company that can't even get their PR stories straight? It's a massive red flag for the whole crypto and AI crossover space.
How do you mess up this badly? #tech #privacy #culture
