the cat is irreversibly out of the bag now, unless you want to ban gaming-grade GPUs, macbooks, and anything with high bandwidth memory capable of massively parallel compute. you can't strip the knowledge of how to build an LLM from people's brains, even non-ML software engineers will know the general research direction of how to get back to at least a GPT-3 level. this is also not a good era for politicians to listen to academics, anti elitism sentiment is at a high and nobody will vote for "eating their vegetables" vs. "candy for dinner".
