The author says they would pay extra for an unrestricted model that does not try to protect them from themselves, and suggests something like an SEC-style “accredited investor” system: pass a knowledge test plus deeper KYC, then get broader access.
A reply pushes back by pointing out that banks already have deep KYC but do not intervene in ordinary transactions, implying that stricter identity checks do not solve the core problem of user autonomy versus safety paternalism.
