Cool. I just wouldn't use it at all in its current form without more information on how you handle my data.

Why should users trust you?

Are you able to access the API models without verifying your organization? See if you can access all models here. https://platform.openai.com/chat/edit

Web/app interface and API access are two different access layers for the model. Everyone can use the web or app interface for accessing all models, but API access is restricted unless you provide biometric information.

What is untrue? You need to verify your identity with Persona to use GPT-5 or GPT 5.1 or a lot of other models.

"By filling the checkbox below, you consent to Persona, OpenAI’s vendor, collecting, using, and utilizing its service providers to process your biometric information to verify your identity, identify fraud, and conduct quality assurance for Persona’s platform in accordance with its Privacy Policy and OpenAI’s privacy policy. Your biometric information will be stored for no more than 1 year."

It's not just the EU. OpenAI doesn't let you use their latest models via API unless you provide your biometric information. It's all about slowly laying the foundations of a repressive dystopian world.

Nothing. They just want more control step by step. Imagine if the models were really fascinating and could do everything, they would literally act like a sovereign state.

OpenAI is literally trying to play the role of a state. Why would I involve a private company in my national ID paperwork? That's none of their business. And that should be literally every sane person's stance. Their model security is not my problem.

They also require it now.

This reminds me of Minds Beneath Us. Mankind really has no limits, and who decides where to stop anyway?

Looks like an Arc alternative, but how trustable is this? I read some comments here mentioning how electron is not very safe. Besides, it's a one man project. Can a browser be a one man business?

My U.S. citizen father applied for a green card for me as his over-18-year-old child, and the process was moving forward. However, during the sponsorship documents submission phase, I got married and updated the marital status question accordingly. After that, the process was stopped. What happens now, and what can be done?

If that moon rover roved all the moon it could rove, then the moon it roved would be the roved moon that no other moon rover could hope to rove.
