Altman's company changed its name to WORLD.ORG to offer a comprehensive ecosystem of WorldID, WorldApp, WorldChain, and WorldCoin (and WorldSocial?). 

The sister company that actually manufactures the Orb is Tools for Humanity, where Atman is the Chairman.

Based on human identity (e.g., no bots allowed), you can now understand why Altman recently announced that he is creating a new OpenAI social network to compete with Musk's X. Nobody in media has connected the dots here, but it is plain as day to me. X is saturated with bots, OpenAI social network will be verified humans.

Will Americans take to having their eyeballs scanned? Yes, especially the younger generations who see the goodies like free crpto, cool social network, access to other services, etc.

Perplexity weighs in

Question: How will OpenAI benefit from World.org's iris scanning tech? How will it interact with World Social that Altman is talking about? Is Altman building an "everything" platform like Elon Musk's X.ai model for a global payment system and a globalized social media system?

Meanwhile, Sam Altman's broader strategy appears to align with building an integrated platform combining identity verification, social networking, and financial services-a vision echoing Elon Musk's "everything app" ambitions for X.ai. Here's the breakdown:
