Lifland: slowing training-capable chip production is the real lever on AI experiments

In a follow-up to his thread on compute-slowdown proposals, Eli Lifland adds that at minimum you'd need to slow production of training-capable chips to impact the experiments in question.
The core argument stands: compute governance only bites if it directly cuts off the supply of training compute, not compute more broadly.
