Thank god, this is what we've been missing on our quest to make software better for our users.

#22As a user of the internet I can only imagine this worsening my experience by allowing even more slop to permeate the network's every orifice. Also, when an agent sets up a domain, who is the domain owner? Who responds to takedown requests? What if it then decides to host illegal content at the domain (generated or otherwise). Who is responsible? Agents aren't (yet) legal persons, so it must be the person who owns the…
Humans will not win in court with a "but the agent did it, I had no idea" argument. Just look at how the cases against OAI are going, and that's where families lose a loved one. There's not going to be any sympathy when your agent committed fraud on your behalf.
And it's not like pro agent companies have a reason to self regulate. They're not going to absorb that liability voluntarily, they'll push it onto users contractually (most of them already do). This is just another channel to bring in customers. They will capitalize ruthlessly to increase their bottom line.

#23I was pleasantly surprised when I read the headline a few days ago. But it's only accessible through Stripe right? I'm simultanenously very concerned about the centralized control that Stripe gains (it's not going to be just access to Cloudflare) and also amazed at how Stripe is shaping to be. It was just a payment processor.

#25The agent starts a phone call, listens to the person on the line, analyzes which fraud bucket they fall into, and start the process.
While they are on the phone with the agent, it buys a domain relevant to the victim, the agent codes and deploy the website specially catered to them and the fraud bucket. Collect payment, destroy the website, redirect the domain to google.com. no need to start a new call because you had several agents committing the same fraud in parallel.
It can also be used to make art.

#26> At the end, the agent has deployed to production, and the app runs on the newly registered domain:
Soft scammers, fraudsters and defamers are celebrating in copying websites for malicious intent.
For sure this is going to get abused.

#27Can I make a bot to buy the domain at the best price, transfer that domain to Cloudflare instead?

Good thing the fraud is committed in places that specifically don't prosecute fraud when it's targeted against Western countries.

#29One of the well-kept secrets about Cloudflare is:
You can have a zero-cost inbox.
Earlier, I was using Zoho and FastMail (however you dice it, it will use some money, $12 a year for Zoho and $7 per month for FastMail? Even then, perhaps you only get one mailbox and some aliases)
but with this method, I get unlimited aliases, domains, and mailboxes:
Now, I wrote a script which captures the email and saves attachments to S3 using the HTTP API (why S3 and not R2? Because Cloudflare wanted a credit card, and I was too lazy to add it there lol) and emails to D1.
This uses an email -> webworker workflow.
I use an API to fetch my emails.
This means all my inbound emails are now handled by Cloudflare, and I can easily use all of it with zero payment.
The best part is this supports tokenised emails, so I can provide a unique email address to each service I sign up for.
I am using SES as the sender. I’ve set up one script which auto-sets up any domain in SES and auto-verifies the sender email.
The funniest thing is I am receiving zero spam? As if other email providers sell my email?

#30This probably started because of Andrej Karpathy's complaint about deployment being more painful than coding itself.
