Ask HN: Why does OpenAI require an ID to use their image API?

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 3:56am

I was hoping to try out the “Open”AI image generation API in their Playground but it asked me to give them a copy of my ID for verification?

I was planning to build a couple of web applications on top of the API but this is really off putting, especially given how prevalent data breaches have become and the simple fact that there’s no need for it other than their pathetic attempts to look like they care about AI safety.

Show HN: UDF to PDF (Browser-Only, No Uploads, Free Tool)

Hacker News - Sat, 04/26/2025 - 3:53am

Built this tool to convert .udf files to PDF entirely in the browser. It’s a niche use-case but saved me when I needed to print one recently. Would love feedback or ideas to improve it!
