I applied for individuals. I did their verification steps and answered questions in a few minutes, so that was indeed easy. The problem is that was all that happened. No followup, no access, no denial. When I tried to reapply it tells me I can't apply again.

OpenAi (and Anthropic) have no incentive to allow security access to individuals. I'm not a deep-pocket org or influential gov agency. Allowing individuals increases the risk of bad press (what if I do something naughty and talk about it?) so best to ignore us.
