Scam Altman's Crypto Currency
Sam Altman’s “Worldcoin” is real… and somehow it’s even weirder than it sounds. TJ walks the crew through the orb, iris scans, “proof of human,” and the pitch for AI-funded UBI. We break down the funding, the rollout, the controversies, and why this all feels insanely ominous. Plus: classic Standup chaos, conspiracy energy, and too many jokes about where the orb shouldn’t go.
