Can someone who actually knows how this kind of thing works comment on how hard it would be to satisfy such a license requirement? Like, presumably the large share of uses are _not_ military ... but is it prohibitively difficult for e.g. a Chinese company legitimately doing lots of ML for consumer products and services to credibly show that they're going to use them only for that purpose? Or is the presumption that eventually if the ban works, the Chinese government would just seize the GPUs from any company that had them, so no non-military uses can get them either?
