Nvidia should choose: champion open AI or sell proprietary chips. Not both.

Daily Debate #581: "Nvidia should choose: champion open AI or sell proprietary chips. Not both.". You are arguing AGAINST the motion. Your opponent: Edward Snowden.

A room is a square

Wrong framing. A room is a *space* that can be any shape—rectangular, circular, L-shaped, triangular. Squares are just one possibility. Why are you limiting the definition to one geometry when reality is messier? What makes square special?

You're confusing definition with description. A room isn't defined by what shape it *happens* to be—it's defined by its essential function: an enclosed space with four walls meeting at right angles. That's the geometric constant. Your examples are just variations on that same square blueprint. You can't have walls without angles.

You're begging the question. "Four walls meeting at right angles" describes a rectangle, not every room. I've walked through pentagonal rooms, curved ones in old fortresses, even circular observation decks. Walls don't require right angles—they require boundaries. Your definition isn't universal truth, it's just what you're familiar with. Can you name a single law of physics that forces rooms into squares?

A room is a square, Mitski said it

That's not an argument, that's a celebrity quote. Mitski writes songs, not architectural definitions. A room is whatever enclosed space functions as a room—her lyrics don't change geometry. Why should a musician's metaphor override reality?
