Perhaps it was implicit that many might commend OpenAI for attempting to keep malware schemers’ hands off o3 (& consider how the Americans have many restrictions against doing business with e.g. N.K.), but I’m stating it given the unlikelihood OpenAI simply wanted to refuse money from you good earnest people. Now…
“There’s got to be a better way!”, I think, right?
Sounds like OpenAI might need a backup verification method, but of course anything needs thoughtful implementation.
If anyone has suggestions, some might be worth posting here & some might be worth address to US officials as well. Maybe OpenAI could use a hand here.
Anyway, I’m uncomfortable with KYC.
Thanks much @Diet for the quick confirm on the queasy
& best of luck folks! Know it’s hard to stay competitive when that dang third-party can’t do their job!
Yeah not a fan of this and literally stopped me from continuing to play with OpenAI for my project ideas.
I’ll look for something else. I’m tired of giving out my ID and then find out they get leaked later on. Sorry OpenAI but you need to find a better way than this.
Just cancelled my API recurring. Enjoy my 10 bucks I guess. Wish I had known before loading my account the first time.
I can use the email trick to get a new verification link but verification still fails through persona
Can someone from OpenAI please help… I’ve been a customer since day 1 when paid accounts were available but I can’t even use the newest tools. This is disheartening.
Edit: okay my org is now showing as verified— haven’t done anything. The o3 model is still showing locked but will try it
