This overly specific intersection of requirements is how you target a single product in legislation.

  Ah, I was scratching my head reading through it thinking about how unlikely it must be for something to have all of those properties. But if they were tailor made for a single product that makes sense.

  Looks to me like it fits all those "model training on a GUI" packages people are selling today. That will place the US in a large economical disadvantage for those.

  Can anyone comment on who the specific vendor or what specific product might be? The AND-criteria makes this restriction pretty narrow, and the GUI requirement alone rules out practically everything I can think of.

  I saw a great example of this when I was looking at VA gun laws today. They have an exception structured as follows: Virginia law exempts from these requirements any firearms shows held in any town with a population of not less than 1,995 and not more than 2,010, according to the 1990 United States census [1] [1] https://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-shows-in-virginia/ https://lawcenter.giffords.org/gun-shows-in-virginia/

    "The provisions of this section shall not apply to firearms shows held in any town with a population of not less than 1,995 and not more than 2,010, according to the 1990 United States census." https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title54.1/chapter42/section54.1-4201.1/ https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title54.1/chapter42/sect...

    Any idea which town the law refers to? I looked at the 1990 census data [1] and the closest thing I could find is a town called Appalachia with 1994 people.
