To understand how much the worries of the tech elite have diverged from the everyday concerns of other people on earth, look no further than Sam Altman's startup that wants to scan the eyeballs of every human.

The goal, Altman and co-founder Alex Blania say, is to differentiate AI programs from people in the online world.
