Take the following crude entities:
- Stones
- Sticks
- Some rope
Takes awhile, but humans eventually make a murder weapon out of that and build armies.
Now take the benign elements of a crud stack:
- Database
- Server
- User system
It takes awhile, but eventually humans will make something (something not good) out of that.
Sticks and stones may hurt my bones, but databases will never hurt me
Right?
Bleach and Ammonia are perfectly shelf stable on their own. Mix them up and they're literal poison.
What you've described are just benign ingredients. The poison is turning them into a "analytics" or "adtech" system.
