It was just a dark thought.

“Ai agents have already effectively taken over the majority of internet traffic on Cloudflare’s network, making up roughly 60% of total volume.”

    How exactly would an AI agent “take over” AWS or Cloudflare? That doesn’t even make sense.

    The whole purpose of cloudflare is literally to take a shitload of traffic, your quote from wherever it’s from is just describing Cloudflare working as intended? The only thing happening here is customers getting bigger bills

    For anything external to “take over” AWS in any remotely meaningful way, AWS would have to have a long cascade of internal fuck-ups so all-encompassing, that it’s kinda unfathomable.

      I assumed it was saying that 60% of traffic seen by cloud flare was AI scrapers. Which is believable TBH.

        Yeah that’s kinda what I’m saying, cloudflare is a CDN, handling a lot of traffic is the point of it. It’s a pretty big stretch to link that to AI “taking over” it. Heavily using it perhaps, as I insinuated with customers getting bigger bills
