The NSA whistleblower never worked for NVIDIA or any key position in the industry

His opinion doesn't carry any more weight than anyone else

Agreed.
Who a person is doesn't matter at all to the truth of what they say.
Even if they aren't an Nvidia employee.

I don't need my dog to tell me, ~10% performance gains from one gen to the next, is shit.

Lol he's a computer expert. If everyone who has a valued opinion needed to ... Work for the company they are criticizing... There could be no such thing as a critic

[–] sprack 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

He’s neither a GFX or AI/ML expert so his opinion carries less weight.

I would take the opinion of someone capable of escaping the US government's data tracking abilities on any hardware any day of the week.

It doesn't take an expert to arrive at the same conclusion

So... Exactly? Just is noteworthy if a smart SME also notices

[–] HappySkullsplitter 2 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Would it be as noteworthy if Bill Waterson from QA at Veeva Systems said it?

Doubt anybody's quoting Bill

Generally if I've never heard of the person, I would answer no to this question. I've heard of Edward Snowden before.
