I really dislike how 'compute' as a noun took over 'computational' as an adjective. I just find the sentence 'I need more computational resources' flows so much nicer than ''I need more compute'.

"Right to compute" sounds to me more like they're using "compute" as a verb, which predates "computational" by a couple centuries.
Someone said "right to computers' and someone else said "that sounds dumb...make it compute!"
Interpret the word "compute" in the title as a verb, not a noun. "I have the right to compute" is analogous grammatically to "I have the right to vote" or "I have the right to assemble"

How about "we've got the best nuclear"
Compute is the...

It's a verb.
Well, language evolves, and I personally prefer compute as a noun when talking about resources. It's great though because we can each say it in our preferred way without judging one another.
I agree. This is language evolving. If someone from the 16th century could hear a modern well-educated person speak English today they would likely be horrified at how degenerate it would sound to them.
So I don't think current English is in some perfect state that should not change.
On god.
Please don't judge me for what I say, or do, or who I really am.
It's a verb, not a noun.
It can be used as both.
