We are moving from a majority of humans with a few bots to a majority of bots with a few humans. World ID is the layer that makes sure humans don't get drowned out. @tiagosada, @wangandy, and @tawandamahere (@worldcoin / @tfh_technology) join Stateful, hosted by @masonnystrom. In this episode, they discuss how World ID is redefining internet identity: - 40 million people onboarded, 18 million Orb-verified. Orb On Demand launching now - Agent Kit: your agent books flights, makes purchases, and acts on your behalf with a verified human in the loop - Why blocking all bots is the wrong answer and how World ID separates good agents from bad actors - World ID vs Face ID: one person with 1,000 phones fools Face ID. They cannot fool World ID - Anonymous by design: zero-knowledge proofs answer only one question.
