I can guess at least one valid:
* preventing North Korea, China, Russian, Iran and etc. actors from accessing service. They absolutely use workarounds to access AI, e.g. I bet there are companies who are proxy between Anthropic and those countries.
I imagine there will be quite some false positives while identifying those.
- a2128 6mo agoThis will do absolutely nothing to prevent those actors from accessing Claude... they already recruit young unemployed Americans to do proxy job interviews[0][1], etc. They'll just pay young unemployed Americans to do verification for them.

- RobotToaster 6mo agoAlso, as many teenagers know, it's trivial to get a fake ID card.
- Wowfunhappy 6mo agoThat sounds likely to increase their costs and create new opportunities to get caught. Not a silver bullet but not "absolutely nothing". Like how anti-money laundering laws don't wipe out all crime, but are still worthwhile.
- throwup238 6mo agoGet caught how? They don’t tell the person what they’re going to use the accounts for or who will use it. The star buyer patsy knows nothing. On the scale of intelligence budgets this would be in the realm of petty cash.
- a2128 6mo agoIf the API costs are gonna be thousands, or the subscription will be $20/month, is it really that expensive to pay some guy on Discord a $50 gift card to verify the account as a one-time setup? Better yet, we'll probably start seeing fake porn websites and other phishing sites that ask to verify your age but end up proxy verifying a bunch of these services in an automated manner with minimal costs, and you'll be able to buy verified Claude accounts for tens of cents on account marketplaces. Just as you have been able to buy verified Discord accounts, aged Steam accounts, etc...
- sifengaki 6mo agoI am a Chinese, and I can tell you definitively that it doesn't cost $50. It will only cost about $7 on the Chinese platform "Xianyu".
- alistairmayo 6mo agoThey won't even need to do that. With enough time and money, they can certainly figure out how to not trigger the ID verification system.
