It's also kind of ridiculous to think that anyone using a consumer grade GPU is a threat. No one doing work with AI is using a 4090, they're using enterprise grade cards with 80GB of vram (H100/A100, even P40's in a pinch). The 4090 is a nice toy for running Stable Diffusion and low grade ~~ERP~~ LLM models and that's about it.

I don't think they're worried about you and I doing that with 4090's, they're worried that China will refab the GPU's if they can get them in the first place
