Found new Production Branch of #nvidia #driver package 580.76.05.
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/252614/
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/252613/

Filed PR Bug288905 on #FreeBSD Bugzilla and opened corresponding review D51941.
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=288905
https://reviews.freebsd.org/D51941

Note that latest Beta Branch of driver 580.65.06, which is already behind Production Branch of drivers, is no longer buildable with the patch above.
This is because some libraries in 580.65.06 was (maybe accidentally) behind existing-at-the-moment PB and NFB of drivers and needed special workaround to allow testing it, and the workarounds are now cleaned up for future maintainabilities.

@prefec2 @zendis Genau. Vielleicht wäre aber mal die Frage angebracht, was der Mensch (Verwaltungsangestellte:r, Bürger:in) _möchte_? Statt über TechBro-Stöckchen zu springen.

Und: Es ist schon sichtbar, dass es eben nicht produktiver macht. Selbst wenn's +paar% wären: Zu welchem Preis? LLM-Provider-Abhängigkeit, Stromverschwendung (OK, in SH vielleicht weniger problematisch), Investment-Blase (siehe #NVidia-Aktie in Fonds: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-better-offline-150284547/episode/the-haters-guide-to-the-ai-287260463/), Abgewöhnung von selber-Denken & -Lesen, etc.
