And cloudflare can actually sell them priority access to pass their bot protection or introduce micropaiments for agents access content. I feel cloudflare is getting a bit scary tbh. It is like your friendly bot net.

This made me realise they’re doing the same thing the AI labs are doing: selling both the problem and the solution.
They are arming spammers and scammers with these tools so you need their product to protect yourself from them
Welcome to the grift economy.
state did this for centuries or longer btw. they create violence/war in some area of the planet, then offer to "fix it".
like wmd's in iraq and hormuz problem now, lmao. remember how hormuz was not a problem and it was wideoy peaceful and open months ago? lol
It's the western great fire wall, good thing the things within the fire wall is huge and encapsulate still most of the world.
I mean, Cloudflare was always kind of scary. They filter the world wide web, literally.
Yea, I appreciate them protecting it from DDOS. I always viewed them as a responsible company.
To me this feels irresponsible and like it's main goal is to forward autonomous cyber attacks. Which is antithetical to what they do? Maybe I am missing the legitimate use case here, but I can only see this being used for removing responsibility from crime or espionage?
Does anyone know offhand if cloudflare is a department of war contractor? I never looked into it. But this smells funny to me
Somehow the Internet needs biometrics and age verification everywhere but also chat bots can buy property there without too much thought.
