Wonder what kind if cost we’re looking at, when “washing” a library like chardet. And whether that’s something available to robin-hood stuff from the rich, or if it’s just the other way around.
Wow, I didn’t know. Are there any bigger projects out there doing this? Most I find when googling it, is a few YouTubers and people who do it small scale as some sort of tech demo.

true, but those people imo are the equivalent of script kiddies(vibe kiddies?)
Slop kiddies, that’s what the developper called them
