Over the summer, the world learned that tech investor Sam Altman was plotting to co-found a new startup that struck many as dystopian, albeit light on details: a cryptocurrency called Worldcoin that is distributed by scanning people's eyeballs with an inscrutable silver orb. 

On Thursday, Altman fully revealed Worldcoin and the mysterious orb to the world with a new website and callout for staffing opportunities. The project's website lays out the vision for Worldcoin, and it seems rather immense, including a plan to mass produce tens of thousands of Orbs operated by eye-scanning entrepreneurs and "billions" of users.
