There’s a reason why it feels like the internet has gone bad | CNN Business
Facebook is full of AI slop. X is full of “free thinkers” peddling conspiracies. Google’s search results are telling us to eat rocks. More and more, it feels like the internet has gone bad.

A nice new video of ESA's Rosalind Franklin rover. Encouraging for all of us who have been working on this mission since two decades, and are now waiting for the delayed launch in 2028. "Totgesagte leben länger!" www.youtube.com/watch?v=aj7x...
