If you subscribe to Dead Internet Theory—which claims the web is now predominantly a sea of AI, bots, and algorithmic automation, drowning whatever human input still remains—you might be initially intrigued by the prospect of a company pitching reclamation of the digital world via human verification. World, the company that’s taken up that mantle, proposes a Faustian bargain tailor-made for our present dystopia in order to provide this rejuvenated online experience: retinal scans. Despite a rocky first quarter that saw its parent company hemorrhaging talent, World’s new scalper-thwarting effort, unveiled last month as Concert Kit, appears to be the most plausibly helpful use case for the company’s notorious eye ID yet. According to World, to combat the scourge of AI reseller bots squatting on a show’s entire ticket stock, musicians with Concert Kit profiles can set aside a specific amount to be redeemed by bona fide human fans. In fact, World says that Concert Kit can even be incorporated into existing ticket sale platforms. As reported by SF Standard, World claims its humanity-authentication protocols swatted away over 100,000 bot requests aiming to snag (free) tickets for its “Humans Only Concert,” which allowed nearly 1,000 verified humans to secure them instead and enjoy the musical stylings of St. Vincent and Anderson .Paak’s alter egos (St. Vicious and DJ Pee .Wee, respectively).
