After reading a few more chapters of True Names, I've realized I'm putting way too much data into a single OpenAI account. So I've decided to try and split it up into ephemeral accounts that I'd rotate every month. It's not perfect but it'd be a start.
Here's what I did:
- Created a disposable email using disposablemail.com
- Signed up to app.thebitcoincompany.com using said email address
- Bought a $10 prepaid debit card using lightning network
- Used sms4sats.com to generate a phone number
- Used said phone number and said email address to sign up for platform.openai.com
- Used said prepaid debit card to fund my account (<- This failed)
Apparently, OpenAI won't allow debit cards. There's a good chance this is precisely due to being able to track users.
As for my question, how do you guys go around it? I know I can self-host an open-source LLM, or even use one online, but have you guys actually tried GPT-4? It's miles ahead of the competition to the point that the rest feels unusable.
