While I agree with the general sentiment, scripting languages are perfectly fine to use for server software. Would you call hackernews slow? Its been running on lisp (originally Arc, now common lisp) for its entire existence. Another fun example of popular interpreter is, y'know, the JVM.

This post explained using your own analogy

The conversation about bot farms replicating human opinions to astroturf popular opinion? Yes, my bad. Feeling suspicious of all content because of the prevalence of AI generated slop content is totally off topic

Its not meant as criticism, to be clear. Was just sharing my thoughts after reading. Silly me!

This isn't a necessarily me arguing with you, just some thoughts.

• We have already seen multiple instances of law enforcement misusing technology (Flock, for example) with or without a warrent. Before these technologies, it was a lot less convenient to do this.
• It is illegal to open someone else's mail without permission. I think this is the case in a lot of places? We don't have a similar digital concept (probably because the post office is a government service and digital stuff is corporate).
• Before this technological era, if the police wanted to wiretap someone or follow them, they wouldn't immediately have access to every single thing theyve said or done before that point in time. I think that is also quite important if we're comparing/contrasting

Nothing says "journalism" like repeating the content of a televised interview and getting the name of Maine's governor wrong.
