Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users - Lemmy.World

On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.

On the other hand, oh hell no.

I don’t think psudonyms are an issue, but verifying that a user is an actual person vs an AI chatbot is absolutely something that social media will need to tackle at some point.
Why? Internet rules from the days gone by - everyone is a liar. So it shouldn’t matter.
