    From the article: The provision would direct the Commerce Department to write rules forcing cloud companies like Microsoft, Google, and Amazon to disclose when a customer purchases computing resources beyond a certain threshold. The order hasn’t been finalized and specifics of it could still change.

    That is actually a good idea. Anyone spending more than, for example, a million dollars to train a LLM should be monitored. I am a Libertarian, so I shouldn’t in principle be for government control, but in this case I think it makes sense.
