The idea of GPUs that don’t run unless they phone home and regularly receive some cryptographic verification seems hopeless to me. It’s not like the entire GPU architecture can be encrypted, and certainly not in a way that can’t be decrypted with a single received key after which a rogue actor can just run away with it. Thus the only possible implementation of this idea seems to be the hardware equivalent of “if (keyNotReceived) shutDown()”, which can simply be bypassed. Maybe one of the advanced open source models could even help someone do that...
