Nvidia's pre-Computex keynote address was certainly something, and none of it felt good.

    If I want to compute pi for no reason or drive to the Grand Canyon for lunch, I should be able to do so.

    Are you able to explain why?

      I’m sure I won’t be very eloquent about it but simply, liberty. Freedom of compute is on par with freedom of thought and expression.

      Freedom of travel is something else, but I’m sure most people that don’t like being imprisoned can appreciate.

      Work (as in energy expenditure) enables these freedoms and I think it’s important not to stifle that whenever possible.

        Computing and leisure travel aren’t human rights, while freedoms of thought and expression are.

          I just disagree. Computing is expression and in my opinion freedom of travel should be a human right.

          Even if you add “leisure” to it to bolster your argument.

            Well you are free to travel with your feet, because in 50 years from now I am not so sure you’ll be able to do it with a plane anymore.
