  Bad people might steal these advanced technologies to exploit slave communities around the world, causing global suffering. What if the entire world is enslaved?

  lmao wut. lmfao even. roflcopter if you will. I know this is a troll account (joined today and has one (1) comment) but this is a hell of a comment. This is up there with that girl saying "Gay marriage is wrong because girls will want to marry other girls, which is what everyone wants to do, right?"

  1. It’s Python. It’s already open source. You can’t really steal it.
  2. It’s Python. Calling it an advanced technology is certainly a choice. Like, it’s a good language and it’s great for the layperson, but it’s Python. They teach it in schools. You may as well be saying that Bad people are going to steal writing. It’s Open source.
  3. It’s Python. How the fuck are you going to use Python to exploit slave communities around the world? Like are you gonna use it to automate your excel spreadsheets of your sweatshop. If you are, then you are more organised than 90% of sweatshops. Are you going to create a PyAI that will gain sentience and control the world for you? If you do, then frankly what you did deserves a Turing Prize because creating an AI in Python is impressive.

  Jesus christ.

  If “bad people might use them” would be an argument, we would just do nothing ever again.

  Bad people breathe oxygen, maybe you should stop doing the same.
