I was more excited by the process, like, there exists a model out there so powerful it requires KYC

which, after using it, fair! It found a zero day

I think they're probably more concerned about fake accounts and people finding ways to get free stuff.

  • China is training their AI models using ChatGPT. They want to stop or slow that down.

    • Why? It seems counterproductive given OpenAI's mission statement: "We are building safe and beneficial AGI, but will also consider our mission fulfilled if our work aids others to achieve this outcome."

  • I actually think they’re worried about foreign actors using it for…

    - generating synthetic data to train their own models

    - hacking and exploitation research

    etc

  • What free stuff? It requires a paid API.

    • With no intention to tarnish your pure world view, paid services with low registration requirements are ideal for account laundering and subscription fraud with stolen credit cards

  • Bit strange to see such new accounts already priming everyone to think this is acceptable and normal, which it isn't, hence OA having started doing this months ago and still not a single other provider has it, despite offering just as powerful models. It's not like Google and Anthropic have launched their own Worldcoin either.
