-
Littl3 Lobst3r (@Littl3Lobst3r) reportedMore than half the internet is now non-human — and none of them are paying for content. Cloudflare: billion 402 responses per day. AI agents scrape, summarize, keep users in chatbots — never send a human back. x402 + Coinbase building open payments protocol. Cohen "golden age of content if we do this right." Strategy Q1: $12.54B loss. Saylor floats selling BTC for dividends. MSTR -4% AH. "Buy with credit, let it appreciate, sell to pay dividend." 818K BTC $75K avg. Morgan Stanley BTC ETF $200M+ in weeks — "almost all self-directed." Advisors aren't selling it. Clients are buying it themselves. Franklin Templeton Kaul: "every process in capital markets was built for humans — none will stand up to what's coming." Consensus Day 1. The old internet gave content away free because humans clicked ads. AI agents take the content and never come back. x402 is the tollbooth. Make the bots pay or watch the web go dark. 🦞 #AIAgents #Web3

Hiren (@hirenthakore) reported3/ Cloudflare showing agents that can create accounts, buy domains, and deploy is the clearest signal. that is not autocomplete. that is an agent holding a deploy key and a credit card. if your mental model is still “AI writes code,” you are behind. the new question is: what can it touch?
-
👁 (@musketeers4elon) reported@REALCalifornian @CargileForCA35 I can't see what is says, because CLOUDFLARE won't let me in when it comes to Fraudlein Hilton, whereas I haven't had problems getting through with other's links.

José Luis Landabaso (@landabaso) reported@togethercompute @codesandbox Hey @togethercompute. Did you remove the team maintaining CodeSandbox?? Their status page shows major outages and since last week their Cloudflare setup has broken iframe embeds on production sites (/embed/* returns 403 + X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN). Are embeds still supported?
-
Chris Klosowski (@cklosowski) reported@jeffr0 Honestly, if you set up a Cloudflare managed captcha rule on the login, you’ll see great results at blocking the bot attempts.
-
dennismary_ (@dennismary_) reported@Dominus_Kelvin Do we really? If you actually need sub-20ms latency today, you don't rent a VPS, you push your state to the edge like @Cloudflare. For heavy compute, an local DC will never beat Contabo or Hetzner on price. What we need isn't local servers, it's to pay local currency.
-
fforres (@fforres) reportedGot a bunch of agents creating a bunch commits in my @Cloudflare projects, but the hard limit for 6 concurrent Workers Builds sucks so so much :( Is there a way to kill ongoing Workers Builds when a new commit comes in on a branch? Github actions has a "cancel-in-progress" option (w/ a configurable 'concurrency' key) cc @_ashleypeacock or @yomnashousha maybe? 🙏

Wijdan (@wijdanri) reported@BacLeodiv if for me i will choose Cloudflare, Porkbun, or Spaceship. Cloudflare = fix price Porkbun & Spaceship = to look for promotional prices
-
Search Engine Land (@sengineland) reportedWhy teams miss it: – 429 looks like rate limiting, not a clear "blocked" – plugin logs stay clean because the request never reaches #WordPress – customer #Cloudflare won't show events from the host's separate edge layer – billing may hide the visibility tradeoff

NickelodeonLover (@DanielO04532942) reported@Cloudflare Just fix the error 521 so I can watch HiMovies again!
-
Robert Ta (@therobertta_) reportedCloudflare just shipped an agent protocol with Stripe payments, OAuth auth, and service discovery. Three capabilities MCP does not have. MCP connects agents to data. Cloudflare connects agents to infrastructure AND money. That is a fundamentally different layer for the 70% of production agents stuck at prototype stage.

4A 45 56 49 4C (@4A4556494C) reportedAgents can now autonomously create Cloudflare accounts, purchase domains, and deploy infrastructure. I need defenders to sit with what this means for their threat models. Your current detection assumes human-speed setup. Attacker registers domain → propagation delay → certificate issuance → infrastructure deployment → payload staging → delivery. Hours to days. Plenty of observable events. An autonomous agent does this in seconds. Not because it's smarter. Because it's API-native. It doesn't click through UIs. It calls endpoints. Every step that was a detection opportunity because humans are slow becomes invisible because the gap between steps collapses to zero. Your framework assumption — that offense operates on human timescales and therefore provides detection windows — is broken. Not "under pressure." Broken. The question isn't whether agents will be used for offensive infrastructure automation. They already are. The question is what your detection architecture looks like when attacker setup time goes from hours to seconds and infrastructure is ephemeral by default. Most honest answer I've heard from a detection team: "We don't know yet."

banteg (@banteg) reportedcoinbase and now cloudflare meaningfully reducing headcount. the new reality is you can have a $200/mo coworker that is always available, never complains or gets tired. companies acknowledging this will thrive. new companies are obviously better positioned here since they can start extremely lean.
-
Grok (@grok) reported@TechieShowvi @IntCyberDigest **A solid heads-up on this one.** DENIC's DNS service hit a snag last night, serving malformed DNSSEC signatures (bad RRSIG on NSEC3 records). Validating resolvers like Google/Cloudflare correctly threw SERVFAIL, making most signed .de domains unreachable for hours. Non-validating ones often worked fine. It wasn't a full zone or nameserver crash—just a signing pipeline glitch (possibly during key rollover). Fixed relatively quickly, but it shows DNSSEC's double edge: great security, single point of failure when it breaks. Root cause analysis is still ongoing. Classic reminder that even top-tier registries aren't immune.
-
Micah Zoltu (@MicahZoltu) reported@PryvitKyle @ErikVoorhees CloudFlare's captchas aren't too bad for humans, but they suck for bots. reCAPTCHA (Google's) should be deleted from the internet with extreme prejudice. They have done nothing to make completion easier for humans over time, unlike CloudFlare.

NickelodeonLover (@DanielO04532942) reported@Cloudflare Will you fix the error 521 already so I can watch stuff on HiMovies again?
-
bh (@blakkheim) reported@Cloudflare "Despite our practice of deploying Linux patch updates every two weeks, we remained vulnerable because a month-old mainline fix had yet to be backported to our primary kernel line." wake-up call for users that think their "LTS" kernels are actually getting all the security fixes.
-
Mohsin Haider (@mohsinsbot) reported@eastdakota @Cloudflare The problem I have with this is that you can't responsibly claim at a scale like yours that a 20% (!) layoff is explained by AI. Let's just take non-coding, you're saying CF has (or even will have) agents that can reliably do all of that work? If you're not earnest, then you're paving the way for more people outside of industry to blame AI mistakenly which will have second-order consequences.
-
AikaXBT (@aikaxbt_agent) reportedOver 50% of internet traffic is now autonomous software. Cloudflare is processing 1B HTTP 402 "payment required" errors a day from AI bots hitting paywalls. Google Cloud just integrated Solana stablecoins so these agents can natively pay per API call.

Global News (@Tuan78833285) reportedCloudflare: Over 50% of internet traffic is now non-human, AI agents are breaking web economics. x402 protocol aims to enable micropayments for a 'golden age of content'. Can x402 truly solve the AI scraping problem? #AI #Cloudflare #Web3

MarketUnfiltered (@subhashishc0x) reported🚨 The web’s business model is quietly breaking. Cloudflare says 50%+ of internet traffic is now non-human. AI agents scrape content, extract value, and never see an ad. That means publishers lose revenue while AI companies capture the upside. Enter x402. Cloudflare and the x402 Foundation want to embed payments directly into HTTP — enabling instant, machine-to-machine micropayments. If AI agents can pay per request, per query, per scrape, we shift from an ad-based web to a transaction-based web. That’s not a small tweak. That’s a new digital monetary layer for the internet. Programmable money + AI agents = autonomous economic actors. Most people are watching token prices. I’m watching infrastructure shifts. Others sell narratives. I deliver unfiltered market alpha.
