You’ll just need to check how to install the proprietary NVIDIA drivers on your distro. For most that won’t be a problem. Just a quick google search, haven’t tried this myself:

The dev builds are actually very recent but finding a cheap hardware is still not that easy. The forums are a great place to start, I guess.

thanks, that's a great starting point. It seems the SanDisk players aren't easily available anymore but I'll look for the other compatible devices.

So I read the article and the lawsuit has nothing to do with my question. It’s more about precedent and actually finding out what the laws are if everything is as claimed.

Still think detectability is an interesting question.

I didn’t read the article but does it say anything about detectability? If I claim I created it who can prove an AI did?
