Tools for Humanity, Sam Altman's company behind the World (formerly Worldcoin) project, is reportedly laying off staff.

Business Insider reports that Altman's creepy eyeball-scanning startup, Tools for Humanity, is laying some staff off.
The company is best known for World, formerly Worldcoin, a project designed to verify that people interacting online are human, not AI.
Its solution to this problem is for people to get their eyes scanned by a somewhat Orwellian soccer-ball-sized device called the Orb in exchange for a unique digital ID code stored on their phone.
