  1. #Bot #WebTraffic has overtaken human web traffic, data shows

    #Cloudflare says 57.4% of requests to a selection of websites it hosts are now #AutomatedBot requests, while 42.6% are human-generated.

    "Website traffic from #AI agents and #bots has eclipsed its human-generated counterpart for the first time, according to Cloudflare, an earlier-than-expected milestone that speaks to AI’s rapid advance and impact.

    " 'Welp, that happened faster than I predicted,' #MatthewPrince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, one of the largest internet hosting services, wrote Thursday on X.

    “Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027,” he continued, “but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet’s history.”

    "The rise is attributed to the continued proliferation of AI agents, largely autonomous programs that use tools that collaborate with high-level programs and data, with little human feedback.

    "Cloudflare, which has a feature to display bot versus human-generated search requests, says 57.4% of requests are now initiated by bots, compared with 42.6% coming from humans.

    "Humans might browse five websites before making a purchase, however, while an AI service might browse 5,000 websites."

  2. “Cloudflare has revealed it will farewell 1,100 staff, due to its current and future use of AI.

    In a blog post that oozes Orwellian “doublespeak,” CEO #MatthewPrince and President/COO #MichelleZatlyn used the headline “Building for the future” to share the email they sent to all #employees

    That mail opens: “We are writing to let you know directly that we’ve made the decision to reduce #Cloudflare’s #workforce by more than 1,100 employees globally.”

    The post explains, “Cloudflare’s usage of #AI has increased by more than 600% in the last three months alone. Employees across the company from #engineering to #HR to #finance to #marketing run thousands of #AIAgent sessions each day to get their work done.”

  3. An outage like today is unacceptable. We've architected our systems to be highly resilient to failure to ensure traffic will always continue to flow. When we've had outages in the past it's always led to us building new, more resilient systems.

    On behalf of the entire team at Cloudflare, I would like to apologize for the pain we caused the Internet today.

  4. "@azeemazhar sat down with #MatthewPrince, co-founder & CEO of #Cloudflare. Matthew is a rare operator with the vantage point to answer a simple question: if agents do the reading, who gets paid? 
    This conversation is a practical map of how AI “answer engines” upend the web’s traffic-funded model – and what could replace it."

  5. This is just a theory but hear us out.

    What if Cloudflare CEO, #MatthewPrince, is either connected to #JeffreyEpstein or exposed in the #InsuranceFiles protecting #Assange.

    In either case, having Prince as CEO of the #extortionRacket makes sense. He has a lot to gain in terms of being able to continue his #sexAddiction, similar to that #Icelandic creep, and a lot to lose if it fails including unable to cut #theInternet when Julian is killed and files are released.

    Worthy theory?
