That's horrible...

For the record, I just made a second account, got verified by Persona and still didn't get into TAC. No "we are unable to verify identities in this country" message. No mention of my country whatsoever. Persona verification was successful.

What else do they want from us?

Were it not for Z.ai's obnoxious terms, I would have switched to them already...

Ah yeah, new accounts get instantly blocked on TAC. Their backend has 2 failure states for `id_verification_status` - `failed` and `blocked`.

Nationality bans get `failed`, new accounts (or rather, accounts with not enough good signals) get `blocked` on first attempt.

For my own stuff I simply don't care if Z.ai is learning straight from me or from my GitHub repo a few days later when I push the code.

When I use it for reverse engineering, same thing, the code is already out there, but in binary form, which is becoming trivial for these LLMs to work on.

I even bought some shares from them and got some money out of it!
