>js injection to drain peoples' accountsfuture is looking tasty, they were right. more opportunities will come.
>>538490452I have no idea what any of this means.
>>538490520New levels of Piracy will flourish on the internet in ways never thought possible before. Gen Alpha or Gen Beta will learn what torrents are once againThis is the death of information flow on the internet but also the birth of something new and very necessary
>>538490568Nobody does. They're just pretending to understand. No they won't explain, only vaguepost (because they don't know either).
>>538490568>If attention and e-commerce are moving from websites to AI harnesses and AI-written software, then agents should pay for the inputs they need — training data, inference content, developer tooling, and API usage. AI bots have to pay for access. It's not meant for humans
>>538490635Cloudflare is slapping a paywall on every website in existence. Programs that require access to information and data that has been free for decades, in some cases since the 1970s or the 1980s is now going to charge on per-usage basis. For instance, say your weather app requires access to an API to some centralized server(s) out there that has all the data you want, well now you gotta pay for access to that data. Basically; google, apple, microsoft, etc. have all made trillions off of your data and have decided that they have hoarded enough and are now closing the doors for everyone else. No more scraping at all! The end of scraping for all eternity!
>>538490452It's fucking over
>>538490452They are already censoring the internet. That's what the no secure connection is. It is your DNS blocking the site from communicating back. The internet is hosted on a VPS now and all data is logged. Shadownet. Your windows 10/11 or mac OS hosts a virtual desktop. Your operating system is an app, your file system, your desktop. All seperate programs installed onto your pc and controlled by a virtual host with constant communication. AI injected into your OS able to manipulate an image beyond your comprehension, or access programs being ran in real time and inject.
>>538490833>It's fucking over
>>538490578Torrenting is kinda problematic because you expose your public IP attached to an illegal service. The only thing this could work is when it's done in the onion or garlic network. That's what people should adapt to.
>>538491060way this*
>>538490819>>538490452It's a feature to let people who control the website enable it if they want you dumbass. They are not applying to everyone website and if they do you know people can just choose not reverse proxy thru them? The state of /pol/ IQ today.
>>538490452Sounds like some Enron shit

>>538491060Torrenting is not an illegal serviceThere's plenty of lawful uses for it, you're not going to get sued for torrenting a linux dstributionAlso Steam runs on P2P, how many times has GabeN been arrested for running a torrent site?
>>538491196I don't know anything about this but your flag makes me think you're a jew
>>538490568I think they're selling data profiles tracking IP address activity since every right except a few alt chans uses cloudflare nowadays
>>538490568>>538490635total clankers death
>>538490568You know when that little box pops up that says "I am not a Robot" and it was just such a pain, well instead of clicking the box which was so annoying you just create an account and give them your bank account info so they can charge you 3 cents automatically each time you try to open a site and then you never have to click the button again.
>>538492432TOTAL DEATH OF THE INTERNET!
>>538490568cloudflare is used as something like a firewall for websites and now they want to monetize their almost monopoly
>>538490568Cloudflare is used by basically every SaaS company and website typically for anti-DDoS and other "edge" (think client-facing) connection. All those "verifying you're human, please wait..." loading screens, that's Cloudflare.Now imagine these companies being able to easily "meter" what they serve to their customers. This is going to be primarily in the AI space. MCPs (model context protocol) are what the AI agents use to interact with other services.For example, a lot of companies use the god-awful JIRA by Atlassian for managing and planning work. There's a MCP that Atlassian provides so your AI agent can automate stuff in JIRA and interact with it. From developers to project managers.Atlassian is big enough where they could probably have implemented a metered mode for it to bill customers (enterprise) but Cloudflare is making it a lot easier to do so. And their interest is probably a cut, additional cost, and/or their x402 stablecoin (crypto) which acts as the "currency" used for it.
>>538493758It's not just for AI agentsits for all scraping periodits for API accessall of these things have been free since the inception of the internet
capitalism 101cause a problemsell a solutionits why j*s put poison into the wells, to sell their cure (vaccine)
>>538491033Gossip Goblin for anyone wanting to see more. It's amazing stuff.
>>538494006ThisNever would have been thought of if ai companies hadn't externalized the cost of their data scraping all over everyone else
>>538493858i'd imagine there will be some webmasters who decide to use another firm for DDoS mitigation, caching, and reverse proxy services. fwiw, there are ways to mitigate crawlers and bots without crumbflare.
>>538490452let's goooothis means websites will drop them and cloudflare's grip on the internet will weaken
>Some of those resources will be free, and some will require proof of who the agent is and who it acts for, through verified agent identity.
