if this feature ever makes it to consumer-grade gpus (and why wouldn't it?) I hope someone smart figures out how to cripple/disable it.
just a firewall will do
Also, remember, the driver's kernel module is gutted and moved to the card itself. Hence while GL drivers and other parts are also closed source, driver core is on the card and sitting there encrypted. Also, this feature uses the secure enclave on the card, dubbed confidential computing capability.
NVIDIA's cards are computers inside computers now, and they'll not stop just because their packets are dropped by a pesky iptables rule.
