Cloudflare continues to push the worst shit combination of centralization of the internet and genAI bullshit but congratulations, they've hit a new combo so bad I didn't even consider it possible blog.cloudflare.com/agents-strβ¦
That's right! Your agents can now provision servers, spend money, and do everything for you!
You don't even need to hand them a credit card!
What's that? Why's that?
Because they've teamed up with Stripe! Why yes, if you've signed up with Stripe Atlas (don't "shrug" this Atlas off, friends!), which is Stripe's "launch a startup for you" company-to-make-companies, they'll give you $100k of FREE credits!!!
That first hit! It's free! Hey!
I bet all the future hits will be too, right? And uh, who will be left holding that bill after you've established this nice dependency?
Vibe coding? That's nothing! Time to go all in on Vibe Founding!
Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
Starting today, agents can now be Cloudflare customers. They can create a Cloudflare account, start a paid subscription, register a domain, and get back an API token to deploy code right away.The Cloudflare Blog

and that isn't how grants work at all

in reply to Christine Lemmer-Webber • • •Hey don't worry! They limit it to $100 / month by default once you go past their limit of free credits.
Their free credits of ONE THOUSAND TIMES the default upper limit.
So once you have a business running, once you've crossed that free "gift"...
I'm sure it'll cost about $100/month on average by then. Yeah! That seems likely!

Just a handful of rich people making numbers increment forever without any negative consequences for them.
