Anarcho-communism is just the longer name of what came to be called anarchism by most observers. The tenets of anarcho syndicalism are fairly close to Marx's 'ideal' communism in theory but obviously Marx, Bakunin and Kropotkin all had differing views on how to achieve those goals.
I feel facial recognition is more efficient than human labour. But the dangers of its misuse were too high for the EU to stomach. Seems like a similar issue here, but it's the unions stepping up to force regulation because the government is too weak and stupid to do it itself.
The misuse of unfettered AI actors does pose real danger of unintended side effects not just to jobs but to society as a whole.

I don't think it's inevitable that a technology that has an advantage to business is destined to succeed. We've been able to ban a number of technologies that are ultimately more harmful in the long run, CFCs, engineered stone, asbestos and even recently the EU banned facial recognition AI. We just need to help people recognise the harmfulness of a technology.

Yep. It's tough to feel like you're directionless and lacking purpose. I get it. I felt this way about my job. Personally I found solace in volunteering and doing things that helped people.

I'd actually add the new DnD movie to the list.
Being legally required to not serve intoxicated people is pretty much the standard across Australian states and NZ.
The reporting that they're complaining would be too costly and difficult to track is only needed because these companies spend so much money and effort in making their taxes difficult to track. They're just whinging about the solution to a problem they've caused.
Yep the walled garden approach. But I guess my point is the bigger the garden the easier it is to find and the harder it is to exit.

A lot of words but not many sources here. So here's a few:
Marx defined socialism as: "...Socialized man, the associated producers, regulate their interchange with nature rationally, bring it under their common control, instead of being ruled by it as by some blind power; they accomplish their task with the least expenditure of energy and under conditions most adequate to their human nature and most worthy of it. But it always remains a realm of necessity. Beyond it begins that development of human power, which is its own end, the true realm of freedom, which, however, can flourish only upon that realm of necessity as its basis."
— Capital III, translated by Ernest Untermann, Charles H. Kerr & Co., Chicago 1909, p. 954
To understand Marx's definitions you have to realise he was writing mostly in response to the Paris Commune uprising and therefore saw 'communism' as the practical application of a theory of socialism. However, the terms and their meaning were radically reshaped by Lenin, Mao and Stalin.
— The Paris Commune: First Proletarian Dictatorship, Revolution, Vol. 3, No. 6, March 1978.
In March 1918 the Bolshevik Party was renamed the Russian Communist Party (Bolshevik) in order to distinguish it from Social Democratic parties in Russia and Europe and to separate the followers of Lenin from those affiliated with the nonrevolutionary Socialist International.
