The greatest risk of AI is from the people who control it, not the tech itself

They can also offer to imprison people who won't turn theirs in, and publicly announce that they got all relevant online sales records through a secret court warrant.

"Sorry, I sold my GPU to a buyer in a non-compliant state."

Hardware doesn't have to be physically present in my house in order for me to use it to run my code.

You do realize we're not training high end LLMs with even a few GPUs, but massive piles of them, right?

Of course.

But a ban won't happen anytime soon - it will be in the future. We are seeing improvement in efficiency, and GPUs are getting faster. We have various methods for distribution of computing function. All of these trends mean that by the time the axe falls it will be far more feasible for smaller bands of geographically distributed of hackers to put something together that defeats the regulatory regimes that are being proposed.

And even if we aren't training models ourselves, execution of the large community models of the future will still benefit from GPU hardware.
