It desired, I feel like it would be in the power of governments to regulate the use of high-performance accelerators to slow AI progress significantly. Training a large language model is no small feat, taking months or years of continuous data center compute. Sure, GPT-3 scale models are out of the bag, but you can slow down the progress. And if they go after the financial incentives and ban using large language models in production, then the desire of the big tech labs to train them might go down anyway. Whether that's desirable or not is the question in the article, but it does seem possible.
