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.

It says you can use custom domains though.

Thank you for the in depth response. My real concern is seeing rough edges in fonts when you closely. That’s just a flaw that hits me too hard as a designer, and I can’t read anything on such a screen. Based on the viewing distance, screen size and ppi it’s not exactly what’s considered a retina display. I will check the reviews that show it up close and if it’s really good I might as well get one in spite of the price!

I got super hyped first when I saw all the details. I use a Boox Page and love the device. This would be a super nice addition which could act as a fully functional tablet.

But then I saw the price tag, and that it’s only 190 ppi. That killed it immediately for me. I hated the first few generations of Kindle because of the low resolution display. I think it’s unbearable in an e-ink display. And the price is a bit outrageous for what it offers..

It's interesting that he got fired a day after this..

AI is certainly reshaping everything and the way I'm seeing it is that it's going to be the superpower of the 21st century.

As for photography, I'm not sure if it can entirely replace cameras. Maybe not for the next few years, but if a genius new way of easily capturing your face structure is mainstreamed and you have a digital avatar of your face, it could actually happen. In that case you could just enter some prompts for the scene and other details and it would generate a perfect image you couldn't even take on your own in any way.

It could start any time. There is a lot of global tension and to trigger a global catastrophic war is not as hard as people are made to believe.

Besides, neocons and evangelists are actively pushing for it.

It’s closer than we think it is, yet people won’t believe this because the media hasn’t mentioned anything yet.

Once it has a branding we will already be living the global war.

First time I’m seeing this and the branding/design shouts “stay away from me, I’m a student project!”

Not exactly the impression I’d like to see when using a password manager. And I’m a UI/UX designer in case you wonder…

You're unfortunately mixing up religion with politics. The current government is not the representative of Islam, on the contrary, they are far from it.

The Turkish society in a way got disconnected from the core principles of Islam, and ignorance, along with superstitions that do not belong to the religion have taken the place of those core principles.

I understand that it wasn't working anymore, and I agree that a change was much needed but the way it was dealt with and what was put into its place are things I do not condone. To this day, Turkey's problems stem from that enforced, makeshift and conflicting foundation that are incompatible with the society.

Thank you for the kind exchange of ideas.

Thank you for your effort to explain yourself in spite of my negative comment, but I disagree with your assertion. Science isn't a Western construct; it's a universal human endeavor, informed by contributions from civilizations worldwide, not just the West. The narrative of "Westernization" in Turkey has often been a guise for imposing cultural and ideological shifts, mostly anti-Islam ones, that many – including myself – have found intrusive.

Your claim conflates "Western values" with scientific progress, and that's simply inaccurate. Let's disentangle scientific advancement from cultural hegemony. Science belongs to everyone, regardless of culture or religion. Generalizations like yours perpetuate harmful stereotypes, and we need to move beyond such outdated views.

Life would be so much easier if the anti-Islam rhetoric in Turkey were to be conducted straightforward and not in a hidden fashion with lies. If it was straightforward, the debate would have ended 100 years ago.

You do have a good grasp of Turkish history, but explaining a Kemalist that he's not western is like talking to a wall. You can't talk sense into a poisoned mind that is in hate, denial and shame with his own history and past.

Turkey is one of the few countries in the world that has these pitiable individuals who despise their history and live in their own artificial "reality".

And the only answer they have is even more stupid arguments that directly connect to current day politics.

It's still a trade-off many designers happily accept given the fact that it took so much longer to open Adobe's products and dealing with their sluggish programs.

You may argue and say why compare with Adobe? You would be right in that case, but it has been the gold standard in design for many years and set expectations on how design applications behave.

I’m sorry but this is a bullshit article. Turkey’s voter turnout has nothing to do with the fine, people are irrationally politicized to the point where they don’t talk about anything else. Turks wouldn’t care about a 8€ fine… Besides, why post this here on Hacker News? What sort of relevancy does it have with this platform?

That’s a big risk of ChatGPT.

Another huge risk is that they could change the perception of what is right and wrong in the long term if GPT gets accepted.

That’s.. so sad. I think you are right.

As much as I don’t want to accept this, it seems like it’s the new reality.

They have posted record drops in profit in the last two or three Qs.

Also, remember Nokia and how fast they disappeared.

Really? I’ve been unable to find quality results for quite a few years now. It’s always results from Quora, Reddit, Facebook, YouTube and other giants.

In addition to that, I’ve been seeing legit scam websites rank in the first page since a year or so, and that’s not something I’ve come across only a few times.

Maybe they won’t die, but they are losing blood fast. I feel like even if they don’t die, they will only be an obsolete corporation that managed to somehow survive like yahoo.

But I’m pretty sure they won’t manage to remain among the top 10 in the next 5-10 years.
