Did your "significant evidence" ignore the massive water use, land use, copyright infringement, and other ethical concerns?

It's not like i'm one of those people from Dune or whatever. I'm not against all machine learning - just these specific tools made by these companies and these specific massive environmental problems. (Among other big issues)

    It seems you've chosen your ideology poorly, then. My ideology attempts to be supported by reason as often as is possible. Of course, there are things reason alone can't tell you (see: the is-ought gap), but of course one ought to follow the evidence wherever it leads, even if that evidence makes you uncomfortable.

    Schlock Mercenary is one of the classics, and if you haven't read it yet I highly recommend checking it out!

    I wouldn't necessarily describe all the characters as rational XD ...but the science-y ones typically are. Also it explores a lot of neat ideas that I still find myself thinking about regularly. If you like sci fi, I think you'll enjoy this one.
