TLDR;

Big techs already cause spread of disinformation, but is not sowing 'AI doomerism' because LLMs threaten their profits.

You're right. Edited.

Haha, obviously, this needs to correlate with other habits/available resources too. Otherwise, people in the past would live longer than people in the present.

I love some "bad" food, but I do walk a lot. I suppose I might live longer than people who love bad food as much as I do but don't exercise.

Biometrics data that can't be changed in the control of questionable corporations? No way. It's gonna be sort of like Reddit: your data is our property, and in this case, it looks like they actually give you minimally in exchange.

Worldcoin, founded by US tech entrepreneur Sam Altman, offers free crypto tokens to people who agree to have their eyeballs scanned.

It claims to be creating a new global “identity and financial network”.

Altman, who founded Open AI, which built chat bot ChatGPT, says he hopes the initiative will help confirm if someone is a human or a robot. He also says this could lead to everyone being paid a universal basic income but it is not clear how.

Sure, bud, hand over our biometrics for your private fiat money, for the promise of unclear-how basic income, meanwhile with your exploiting the poors and manipulating the laws to favor yourself.

PWM saves the URL with the password record. It doesn't auto-fill username/password on a website that the user hasn't already approved, so it provides some phishing-resistance when the URL is unknown, or is just similar to the originally saved URL.
