The word "just" here always presumes magic that does not actually exist.

- simonw 2y agoThose App Stores also spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year on human staff. PyPI doesn't get to do that!
- jruohonen 2y agoSure, but I'd guess PyPI could cut off much of the really bad stuff, such as malware, by AI (as everything is know called). Having a waiting list for false positives would not hurt anyone much. Yet, a foreseeable alternative is that PyPI and friends continue to be dumpyards, but communities will build up whitelists.
