🇺🇸 SAM ALTMAN'S ORB MINI LAUNCHES TO PROVE YOU’RE HUMAN IN AN AI WORLD
Worldcoin’s crew just launched the “Orb Mini”—a portable device that scans your eyeball and spits out a blockchain ID to prove you’re human.
Built by Tools for Humanity (yes, the same folks behind the original Orb), this thing looks like a phone but exists purely to verify you aren’t AI.
With 12M people already scanned worldwide, they’re now rolling into U.S. cities like Austin and Miami.
Whether it’s creepy or clever, biometric ID is officially going mobile.

🇺🇸 SAM ALTMAN LAUNCHES WORLDCOIN ORBS IN THE US—IRIS SCANS FOR ID GO MAINSTREAM
Sam Altman’s controversial Worldcoin project is officially landing in the US.
Starting May 1, Tools for Humanity will open six Apple-style stores across major cities—complete with metallic eye-scanning orbs—to verify identities using biometric iris scans.
Backed by $240M in VC funding and partners like Visa and Match Group, Altman’s “World” app stores user IDs on the blockchain to combat AI-generated fraud.
Critics say it’s invasive and ripe for abuse.
Altman says it’s the only way to prove you’re human.
Eyes wide open, America—your retina just became your new login.
