Chinese labs are not going to care about whatever anti-datacenter measures you propose. It'd take an unprecedented effort of international collaboration to slow down AI training.

(Before anyone mentions nuclear, the amount of nuclear warheads grew a lot after the non-proliferation treaty. Historically that was how collaborative big countries were.)

I'm not proposing anything. The article is.

The non-proliferation treaty was mostly to prevent non-nuclear states from gaining nukes (that's what "proliferation" means). It had a section about disarmament but that was aspirational.

Wouldn't slowing down AI training in the United States insulate the retirement investments of U.S. citizens from the LLM market, regardless of what happens abroad?
