It's not trying to say either of them.

It's just guessing what word to say next, given the previous words in the context.

Had they just used some punctuation - "The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders on Thursday, announced", it would have made it easier to get. Even, "The press freedom group Reporters Without Borders, on Thursday, announced" would be doable.

How do these feel?

And gives some energy (and building material) in the process? Yeah, it's just kinda hard.

Having rules, means we need to be sure everyone follows it. And having a condition in which everyone wants to and strives to follow it, is also something utopian.

So even if the rules turn out to be desirable, a deterrent would be required. Now of course, for the thoughtful, the deterrent would be the possibility of losing long term stability, but for those who only think of immediate gains, you either have to band up (which eventually causes formation of communities and states) or they band up (= bandits) and eventually become kings (the problematic kind).

And then these things come into play:
Cooperation game Pretty good linking of thoughts by Veritasion

Then comes the most important point (or at least what I consider so). Technological progress. Science is very much viable in Anarchy, with most scientist-scientist interactions not really requiring a state in the first place. You just need an incentive structure that is good enough to make maintenance (including prevention of loss of knowledge) and further improvements, a desirable endeavour. And science can take a lot of resources, while not showing any return for a long time.
Depending upon the case, this might incite frustration in those, investing in it for those working on it.
And stagnation is not a possibility. Any attempts at that will just cause a slow downfall.

I used to say, "I don't like novels." until I read Foundation

You just gave 2 links to places on the internet where people have mentioned it.

So I just invented a game.
I kinda like it a bit.
Of course, I'm not going to tell you its name or its rules, or I will have mentioned it on the internet, which will make it a paradox.

Any chance you’re a lawyer?

Physicists come pretty close too, and guess where you are

Yeah, we are yet to make sure that the drones run on the same OS as the Teslas.

I get it. There's probably 100's of sites with you on them.

Until he actually had to use it.

Took 2 hours of reading through examples just to deploy the site.
Turns out, it is hard to do even just the bash stuff when you can't see the container.
