This feels eerily similar to a post I've read a within the last month. Either I'm having a deja vu, it's a coincidence that the same exact story is mentioned or theres something else going on

What should be going on? A regular Google search for "openai persona verify organization" shows withpersona.com in the second search result.

  • Yeah ok guess I misremembered it a bit but I was curious too and found the previous one I've thought of: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43795406

    • Good eye! In this case, complaints are numerous. See a web search for:

      openai persona verification site:community[.]openai[.]com

      e.g. a thread with 36 posts beginning Apr 13:

      "OpenAI Non-Announcement: Requiring identity card verification for access to new API models and capabilities"

      But always good to be on look out for shenanigans :)

This is OpenAI’s fairly dystopian process, so the exact same thing happens to lots of people.

It's a concerted attempt to de-anonymise the internet. Corporate entities are jostling for position as id authorities.
