BlockBeats News, January 29th. According to Forbes, two projects co-founded by Sam Altman are reportedly set to merge to build a "humans-only" social media platform.

The report cites anonymous sources indicating that OpenAI, the artificial intelligence company co-founded by Sam Altman, may leverage the eye-scanning device Orb from the Worldcoin project to verify users as humans on its planned social network. Worldcoin, developed by Sam Altman's co-founded Tools for Humanity, had previously attracted millions of users to register and receive its cryptocurrency, WLD, through a "scan to earn" token distribution method.

The report adds that a small team at OpenAI developing the social network is also considering using Apple's Face ID for biometric authentication to verify user identities.

Analysts suggest that OpenAI's potential strategy is to capitalize on the success of ChatGPT and Sora to create a bot-free social media platform, distinguishing itself from existing bot-troubled social networks like X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok. In April this year, tech media outlet The Verge reported on OpenAI's development of a social network product.
