Re: Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
#42One 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…
cf bought an email security company a couple years ago so wouldn’t shock me they have good spam filtering.

#43Most of the sysadmin and devops team have been downsized in India because of AI. Basically, now it's trivial for any new devops guy to run such a query in Claude Code: “Log in to this production server, find out all services it runs and their deployment method, create documentation about everything, and generate a repeatable, auditable deployment workflow.” Devops and sysadmins can no longer withhold information to m…

But they paid for the emission just like every other electricity consumer? Then who are we to determine the Hello World page is morally more wasteful than outdoor terrace heaters or advertising jumbo-trons?
I hear your argument. However, you assume CloudFlare pays taxes and utility rates comparable to what other customers pay. That is never the case with large businesses. CloudFlare seems to be less parasitic than others in the industry, but they are not doing this for the charity.
For example, in 2024 JPMorgan received a $77m subsidy to build a datacenter that created only one permanent job.

#45Earlier quoted context omitted.
Are any of these domains public? I’d love to study and better understand the use case for needing to AIify this.
It’s not AIifying one thing. It’s AIifying the entire work flow… every detail. Allowing domain names is just one aspect of it. The agent does everything. “Make a website that does…“ and it can handle everything from start to finish. It’s that good now.
The question was what's in the dots. I have no doubt that agentic systems are good enough to buy domains and make one-shot websites from a prompt, but what is the legitimate use case for which you'd want to repeatedly perform "Make a website that does..." on a new domain?
Re: Agents can now create Cloudflare accounts, buy domains, and deploy
#46That is ironic. Four years ago, cloudflare didn’t let human me have an account / buy domains because I signed up, never used a single service but didn’t respond to a request to verify my drivers license > This account is in violation of Cloudflare's Terms of Service. Specifically fraud. The suspension is permanent. (Yes that’s really it. Sincerely. No “but I also abused X”)
This conflict is popping up everywhere. There is a push by a lot of companies to allow agentic use of their services (and new companies explicitly offering "X for agents"), ignoring the fact that "agent" means the same thing as "bot" which we've spent the last couple of decades actively filtering out. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.
In defense of old-school bots, we had to code them up by hand.

#47I was wondering if someone was going to allow payments through CLI at some point. But jokes aside having a central place to manage billing and accounts for deploying infra across multiple providers is pretty awesome imo. if they have a terraform provider even better. I wonder if also makes multi tenant architectures or environment isolation easier to provision as well.
Wait until one account is banned, and then all linked accounts are permanently banned.

#48As 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 cont…

Can you support this claim with some evidence? Not just about the redundancies, but I’m also particularly interested in hard data showing Claude is capable of doing that kind of research with near 100% verifiable accuracy and migrations with no data loss and equivalent functionality (which is required to sustain your claim).
