You're being willfully dense, I do not believe it's up for debate. Governments that public force to kidnap, torture, murder, "disappear" their own citizens, are bad. Plenty of examples to go around, both historically an

Because, nature in its infinite wisdom, gets rid of what's not used. You don't use your muscles? They atrophy. You don't make an effort to travel without a gps regularily, to force your brain to remember your way around natu

It doesn't matter if you can't solve a randomly-appearing-in-your-newsreel integral; it matters that you have the background knowledge of what an integral is, that there are rules to solving it, and you can read up on the rules an

A better analogy is that LLM crawlers are candy store workers going through the houses grabbing free candy and then selling it in their own shop. Scalpers. Knowledge scalpers.

Does it matter? Will the existence or lack thereof excuse the absolute lack of security and privacy this package exhibits? And the lack of interest from the developer?

I loved that movie, and everyone I know at least liked it, a lot. It flopped because of The Lorax, and THAT was massively disappointing.

Not just a learning exercise, it's also very useful, it allows you to expose application internals in a controlled way so that they can be scripted without exposing your entire codebase to untrusted code.
