This is going to be RSA export restrictions all over again. I wish the regulators the best of luck in actually enforcing this. I'm tempted to think that whatever regulations they put in place won't really matter that much, and progress will march on regardless.

Give it a year and a 10x more efficient algorithm, and we'll have GPT4 on our personal devices and there's nothing that any government regulator will be able to do to stop that.

Enforcing this is easy. The top high performance GPU manufacturers (Nvidia, AMD, Intel) are all incorporated in the U.S.

Meaning we won't be able to buy an a100 without a license... Wait, I can't afford an a100 anyway.

As a point of trivia, at one time "a" Mac was one of the fastest computers in the world.

https://www.top500.org/lists/top500/2004/11/ and https://www.top500.org/system/173736/

And while 1100 Macs wouldn't exactly be affordable, the idea of trying to limit commercial data centers gets amusing.

That system was "only" 12,250.00 GFlop/s - I could do that with a small rack of Mac M1 minis now for less than $10k and fewer computers than are in the local grade school computer room.

(and I'm being a bit facetious here) Local authorities looking at power usage and heat dissipation for marijuana growing places might find underground AI training centers.

All the crypto mining hardware flooding the market right now is being bought up by hobbyists training and fine tuning their own models.
