If we end up with a compute governance model of AI control [1], this sort of thing could get your door kicked in by the CEA (Compute Enforcement Agency). [1] https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ai-safety-fundamentals...

Looks like we're only a few years away from a bona fide cyberpunk dystopia, in which only governments and megacorps are allowed to use AI, and hackers working on their own hardware face regular raids from the authorities.

Mere raids from the authorities? I thought EliY was out there proposing airstrikes.

Skimming the readme this is p2p over PCIe and not NVLink in case anyone was wondering.

RTX 40 doesn’t have NVLink on the PCBs, though the silicon has to have it, since some sibling cards support it. I’d expect it to be fused off.

In the sense that any other government regulation is also ultimately backed by the state's monopoly on legal use of force when other measures have failed.

And contrary to what some people are implying he also proposes that everyone is subject to the same limitations, big players just like individuals. Because the big players haven't shown much of a sign of doing enough.
