I think they'll try to license GPUs, or access to them.

I can here the narrative now. "GPUs are more dangerous than guns because people can run their own 'unsafe' AIs, or mine non-KYC CO2-creating Bitcoins, or play violent video games that cause school shootings.", they'll say.

At first it'll just be just to "know where they are, so we can keep track -- what do you have to hide?". Then it'll turn into charging increasingly higher fees, or unrelated information disclosures, for the license to possess them which is a form of throttle. It'll turn into a hassle, so casual consumer use cases of GPUs will flip architecturally such that you can play games using remote access to google's GPU. After that, "it doesn't matter if we ban GPUs, the ONLY people who use them, are miners and black-market-AI, we can stop this now!"

"Let's just 6102 the GPUs"
