Sam Altman's World ID Teams Up With Tinder and More to Fight Catfishing!

World Chain's New Move to Bring Authenticity to Dating Apps

Holy smokes, folks! Sam Altman's World project, the one with the eyeball-scanning tech, just dropped a bombshell! They're joining forces with none other than Match Group - yeah, the big shots behind Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, and a whole slew of dating apps. This collab is set to kick off on May 1st, and it's about to change the game for online dating!

Get this: World's unique ID code is diving into the world of swipes and matches. We're talking Tinder, Match.com, Meetic, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, OurTime - the whole gang! They're rolling out World Chain's (WLD) no-holds-barred identity protocol, World ID, to make sure the person behind that profile pic is actually real. And guess what? They're starting with Tinder users in Japan, giving them a slick way to prove they're the real deal, all while keeping their privacy intact.

World project put it perfectly in their statement: "As AI keeps getting smarter, we've gotta make sure there's a real human behind every chat. Tech brings us together, but it's the real people that make it count!"

Listen up, because this is wild - a 2024 survey spilled the beans that a whopping 62% of internet users in the US have fallen victim to catfishing. And get this, 53% of them were women, and 18% were young adults aged 16 to 24. It's a jungle out there!

With AI getting better and better at faking it, telling the real humans apart from the digital fakes is getting tougher by the day. But World ID is stepping up, hoping to help dating app users find genuine connections with actual people, not some AI-generated nonsense.

Here's how it works: World ID's got this thing called "Proof of Human." You hop in front of their fancy device, the Orb, it scans your eyeball, and boom - you've got yourself a one-of-a-kind code that proves you're the real deal.

Now, I gotta keep it real with you - World's eyeball-scanning tech has faced some heat before. Authorities in Hong Kong and Brazil were not happy, accusing them of breaking privacy laws by collecting people's iris and face images. But hey, they're still pushing forward with this game-changing collab!
