OpenAI board member is violating export control, selling Claude API
to HongKong
OpenAI board member, CEO of Quora (Poe.com), Adam D'Angelo, has
been selling export banned API access of ChatGPT and Anthropic's
Claude to banned countries like HongKong. Poe used to be ranked at
#2 at HongKong app store and they recently launched the API service
for HongKong users. It is interesting that OpenAI/Anthropic allows
Poe.com reselling banned services to this region. Poe at Hongkong
