Every week, I organize 400 to 700 links into roughly 60 categories as part of my ongoing effort to learn about AI. This is my personal notebook, which I enjoy sharing with friends… a hobby and a labor of love, rather than a commercial publication or product.
If you arrived here through a search or shared link, this page collects the links I found for Internet for the week ending September 11, 2026.
As part of my learning process, I like to automate the category covers. It gives me a chance to learn Python and APIs.
This week’s cover prompt was written using Claude Opus 4.7, and the image was generated using Nano Banana 2.1.
Category Cover Image Prompt: Early-90s first-person shooter in-game screenshot of a heroic giant Drosophila fruit fly with red compound eyes and translucent wings wielding a comically oversized retro shotgun, charging down a 2.5D raycast corridor of grimy server racks dripping with ethernet cables and glowing cyan neuron filaments, blocky pixel-art spider web-crawler enemies with router-antenna legs lurching from the shadows and a rotting banana health pickup on a pedestal, hellfire red and toxic slime green underlighting with heavy dithering and CRT scanlines, the chunky extruded beveled title INTERNET blazing above in red-to-orange-to-yellow gradient metallic block letters with fiery glow, blank bottom status bar with health and ammo bars and tiny fly-face portrait.
This Week in Internet News
Summary by Claude Sonnet 5.5 based on this week’s links:
Digiday flagged that bot traffic is climbing for e-commerce brands and is getting in the way of retargeting, the practice of showing ads to people who already visited a site.
Marketers are divided on the response. Some want to stay open to AI visitors, while others want to work harder at blocking them.
This summary was generated by Claude Sonnet 5.5 to help you explore the links below. Rest assured, I select, organize, and check the links by hand in Google Sheets, and write the introduction and personal commentary in The Main Newsletters myself each week as a labor of love.

Bot traffic is rising for e-commerce brands and interfering with retargeting strategies. But marketers are split on whether they should remain open to AI visitors or work harder to block.
