EU should introduce regulation that prohibits client-side AI/ML processing for applications that require internet access. Show the cost upfront. Let’s see how many people pay for that.
It’s definitely weird that everyone is panicking about data center processing costs but not about the exact same hardware powering high end gaming devices that have skyrocketed from 100W to 450W in a few years, but ultimately if you want to run a model locally you can run a model locally. I’m not sure how you’d regulate that, it’s just software.
Hell, I don’t even think distributing the load is a terrible idea, it’s just that the models you can run locally in 40 TOPS kinda suck compared to the order of magnitude more processing you get on modern GPUs.

That is a weird proposal.
