Edward Snowden slams Nvidia's RTX 50-series 'F-tier value,' whistleblows on lackluster VRAM capacity

I totally get it, I live next to that big pain in the ass as well. Luckily, he hasn’t invaded us yet, but I feel it’s only a matter of time. And what Snowden does here certainly doesn’t help.

But he could have just done nothing and lived a very happy life. Instead, he chose to give up his happy life to uncover the NSA scandal, knowing full well that it will absolutely wreck his life.

Personally, I think he did enough for the greater good there. This isn’t his war, and if he has to post some lies to get a bit of normalcy back in his life, I can understand that. I wish it wasn’t that way, but I can understand it.

Still it's 100.0% USAs decisions that pushed him to Russia, it's not like he went there immediately (2013), he was on the run and in shitty conditions for years before he finally had enough and went to Russia (2022).

USA still wanted to disappear (torture) him, not even allowing him to stay in NATO or non-NATO countries.

A USA hero is safer in Russia, and Putin had nothing to do with setting that situation up (safe for not deporting him to USA ofc, which otc lol).

"Whistleblows" as if he's some kind of NVIDIA insider.

The issue is that he is supporting russian genocidal imperialism. His messaging clearly aligns with russian propaganda goals.

Is it not reasonable for me to consider him my enemy (he directly supports doing harm to me, my family and my fellow citizens)?

As far I am concerned, I hope Snowden and his family will one day be on the recieving end of russian brutality.

I don't buy the logic of "he did one good thing, so it's fine for him to promote russian genocidal imperialism".

If he can't stay consistent, he should have never got involved in the NSA issue in the first place.

He clearly enjoys the attention (just look at this post). He could have simply shut up and not worked with russian security services (the russians wouldn't kill him, they need him alive).

And how does this justify Snowden promoting russian genocidal imperialism in Ukraine?

He did a good thing, so now he is an untouchable saint?

Every time I see a headline that contains the word “slams,” I want to slam my head on the table

I'm guessing that was a deal Russia made with him, he gets to live as long as he's useful to Russia.

I don't think anyone is calling him a saint. He's a whistleblower whose best option was to defect to Russia, after a period of trying not to do that.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

His messaging clearly aligns with russian propaganda goals.

Well yeah, he's in Russia. What's he supposed to do?

He did one good thing. Now he's in Russia, so ignore pretty much anything he days says that could in some way benefit Russia.

Ty. I'll try ollama with the Q-4-M quantization. I wouldn't expect to see a difference between ollama and SGlang.

But that’s assuming there is actual high demand for running big models locally, so far I’ve only seen hobbyists do it.

I agree with you in theory that they just want more money but idk if they actually think locally run AI is that big of a threat (I hope it is).
