What to know : World’s WLD token jumped sharply on Wednesday after a Forbes report said Sam Altman’s OpenAI is exploring a biometric social network to combat online bots. The report said OpenAI has considered using Apple’s Face ID or World’s iris-scanning Orb device to verify human users, though no formal partnership between OpenAI and World has been confirmed.
