Training is the least of my worries. They’ve got the single most valuable treasure trove of ad targeting data the world has ever seen. People type way too much personal stuff into these text boxes.
That trove that they “can’t” sell is going to get a lot of attention when they’re trying to hit quarterly numbers.
Heck, is it even against the current agreements for them to spin up their own Adsense network and serve personalized ads? They wouldn’t be selling your data, just Showing You More Relevant Ads™

The great thing is that many of the Chinese open-weight models can be run on US providers. Some promise not to retain data for training or other purposes. (Which I think is a credible promise most of the time.)
And thus, by restricting access to the latest models, the US government is giving a gift for the chinese labs, that will now receive lots of new users providing them with data related to real world software development.
