Does this appear to be intentionally left out by NVidia or an oversight?
Seems more like an oversight, since you have to stitch together a bunch of suboptimal non-default options?

Mere raids from the authorities? I thought EliY was out there proposing airstrikes.
In the sense that any other government regulation is also ultimately backed by the state's monopoly on legal use of force when other measures have failed. And contrary to what some people are implying he also proposes that everyone is subject to the same limitations, big players just like individuals. Because the big players haven't shown much of a sign of doing enough.
Good point. He was only (“only”) really calling for international cooperation and literal air strikes against big datacenters that weren’t cooperating. This would presumably be more of a no-knock raid, breaching your door with a battering ram and throwing tear gas at the wee hours of the morning ;) or maybe a small extraterritorial drone through your window

Looks like we're only a few years away from a bona fide cyberpunk dystopia, in which only governments and megacorps are allowed to use AI, and hackers working on their own hardware face regular raids from the authorities.

#27Was it George himself, or a person working for a bounty that was set up by tinycorp? Also, a question for those knowledgeable about the PCI subsys: it looked like something NVIDIA didn't care about, rather than something they actively wanted to prevent, no?

If the premise is wrong we won't need it. If society coordinates to not do the dangerous thing we won't need it. The argument is that only in the case where we find ourselves in the situation where other measures have failed such uses of force would be the fallback option.
I'm not seeing the odiousness of the proposal. If bio research gets commodified and easy enough that every kid can build a new airborne virus in their basement we'd need raids on that too.

#29seems anything that remotely lets "consumer" cards canibalize anything with the higher end H/A-series cards Nvidia would not be fond of and they've the laywers to throw at such a thing
