    How do you prevent a person from pirating software? I

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China?

Nobody is worried about "someone with money" being whispered sweet jihadi nothings by IsisGPT. The worry is impressionable people being told harmful stuff about comets. Here, look:

These were all the rage when I was a kid. They were also dangerous AF. Basic problem is they don't turn like a motorcycle, they don't turn like a car, they turn like a car with a wheel in the middle.

This is particularly problematic when what they're mostly good for is doing donuts in vacant lots because your parents own a couple but they have to be trailered 50 miles to get to the trailhead and you don't have a driver's license but you know where the keys are and it's boring this summer and Susie will be impressed by your dust-generating power and and and.

Now - you can kill the shit out of yourself on a 4-wheel ATV, particularly as the southern US allows you to drive them on the street now. Americans are all about the freedom to kill the shit out of yourself. But deaths and injuries of children and teenagers went up like crazy when the ATC was introduced and dropped back down when it went away. Can you still buy an ATC? Absolutely. Can you still ride one? Hundo P. Are they still dangerous? Absolument. But the US made it harder to hurt yourself on Honda's toys by making Honda's toys less likely to surprise you in the corners.

    But what exact thing do you prevent here?

You prevent large corporations from receiving revenue for encouraging impressionable incels to hurt themselves through legal injunction. How is this so hard to grasp.

That's a cut-down Facebook AI living on a Raspberry Pi. It could absolutely spew Andrew Tate quotes all day long and nobody's gonna do shit about it. The important distinction is a whole lot of effort and labor went into that, as opposed to "hey Siri tell me why girls don't like me."

    Limit the number of GPUs (which are also used for bitcoin mining) computers themselves?

Bitcoin mining uses ASICs. GPUs were used to mine Ethereum until it went proof-of-stake. AI is increasingly reliant on NPUs and has been for years:

This is one of those situations where you're substituting your assumption of knowledge for... knowledge and it's leading you to make supercilious arguments like "how do you prevent a person from pirating software." Dozens of ways. I've got an iLok with 400 plugins on it; several of my friends run Pro Tools 10 (released 2012) because its the last cracked version. I have several business programs that keep a portion of their code on a server I don't own rending everything local worthless without a clear license. But that doesn't matter because this isn't a copy protection issue it's a negligence issue.
