recent rise of fascism

I'd look for the reasons to back when fascism has risen in the first place in early 20th century

Why empathy specifically? If it causes damage, then it's probably global

Self hosting is trivial these days. Any modern NVIDIA card and hundreds of models available online.

Demonic forces of physics.

What's next? Banning Einsteins general relativity?

But flat out banning it without proper research would be irresponsible.

I think the whole argument is moot. AI image generation is available to pretty much everyone. It's impossible to control what what people are doing with it

Child porn is a bad thing

Tell that to the priests

Every time I get either downvotes or a non answer like this.

they rely on more social cohesion to enforce social rules

How is this supposed to work in situation where individuals aren't agreeing with each other? What about communication overhead when large amount of people is involved in decision making? These are the questions anarchists avoid answering.

The only thing I know to work in practice is Torrent protocol for data exchange - but it works in an environment where violence is completely infeasible, and it doesn't even try to be fair or equal. It's pure tit-for-tat (aka favor-for-favor) model when there's bandwidth deficit, and pure charity when there's a surplus

Also, data is perfectly quantifiable, which is not a thing in more complex enviroments

You just can't apply torrent in the real life

Who in their right mind would turn down free weed?

A non-addict?

Anarchy means without hierarchy. That's it. Rules can still be agreed upon.

Im not aware of any system (outside P2P file exchange protocols) that would make it possible.

But it's the exact same thing. If there's no hierarchy of some kind, then who's going to enforce the law? Like putting criminals in jail and prevent violence on the streets?
