Wednesday, May 27, 2026

Thirty Seconds To Mars is going in for the kill against bots that buy and scalp tickets by giving fans a new way to fight back, but it comes with one unusual catch: they may need to scan their eyes first. Jared Leto's band is using World's new Concert Kit tool to set aside a portion of tickets for verified human fans on its 2027 European tour. The tech comes from Sam Altman's Tools for Humanity, the company behind World ID, an encrypted digital passport created through iris and face scans.

I'm not sure who Jared Leto is. Okay I googled him he has that Russell Brand look. I know him as the evil brainiac guy from the Blade Runner reboot.

So he's a Hollywood heartthrob with a band that can fill an arena.

I can't imagine a thing like that going to your head.
