the nvidia/AMD/apple chips all require proprietary firmware blobs, it can be enforced in there yes you won't get people that won't ever update, but you'll get the overwhelming majority and the hardware the never-updaters use will eventually fail and won't be able to be replaced also: ban the release of new "open" models, they will slowly become out of date and useless combine these, and the problem will solve itself over time

> they will slowly become out of date and useless Models released today are already useful for a bunch of stuff, maybe over the course of 100 year they could be considered "out of date", but they don't exactly bitrot by themselves because they sit on a disk, not sure why'd they suddenly "expire" or whatever you try to hint at. And even over the course of 100 year, people will continue the machine learning science, regardless if it's legal or not, the potential benefits (for a select few) seems to be too good for people to ignore, which is why the current bubble is happening in the first place.

    I think you over-estimate how difficult it is to get "most of the world" to agree to anything, and under-estimate how far people are willing to go to make anything survive even when lots of people want that thing to die.
