    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!

    @cwebber This isn't so much a defense of it, but the built in budgets are a pretty nice safeguard for those of us tasked with building "chat bot for ___" demos that have to be deployed to semi-live staging environments so our clients can try them out.

        @cwebber AI bolted to a payments gateway?

        I'd be lying if I didn't say that I'm a little bit jealous that I didn't come up with this evil plan.

        That evil lair in the island won't fund itself!

              @cwebber AI agent driven scam service as a platform. One agent slurps a corporate website, another uses that to create a website that collects personal data, and a third comes up with a bunch of variants of the original URL and register them to point at the scam site. All assisted by Cloudflare.

                I think they want the poor dead.

                A redacted person in the Epstein files said this to Epstein.

                "Also - I've been thinking a lot about that question that you asked bill gates "how do we get rid of poor people
                as a whole" and I have an answer/ comment regarding that for you ... When can I call you today to discuss
                this??"

                (one of the 3 copies of the email found with the query "how do we get rid of poor people as a whole")

                https://www.justice.gov/epstein/files/DataSet%209/EFTA01157206.pdf

                One billionaire lifestyle can be responsible for millions of tons of carbon dioxide pollution, compared to less than one for the average rural indian.

                For billionaires to maintain their lifestyle they need to get rid of millions of poor people.

                    @alienghic let's be real, they are male. I am near certain there is an empty intersection between female elites, really wants to talk to epstein, but needs to wait until after basketball, in 2011.

                    edit: good, but not certain, chance they are on this list.

                    My money is on Balmer.

                    edit 2: changed my mind, would just have called gates "Bill".

                        @alienghic Ah ya, fair enough.

                        I find it so fascinating that they even entertain the idea, as if their wealth isn't a product of the poors. It feels like a rancher saying, "well how are we going to get rid of all these cows?"

                          That doesn't make sense tho'f they wanna be rich. "Rich" is relative; it can only exist when there's poor people also.

                          Poverty'd be solved by taxing the rich (n redistributing their wealth to the poor).

                            @ireneista @cwebber I have been “guilty” of this when prototyping. I even asked a vendor once and they said they do not care, they accept it happens and it’s all factored in.

                                I think they want the poor dead

                                That doesn't make sense tho'f they wanna be rich. "Rich" is relative; it can only exist when there's poor people also.

                                Poverty'd be solved by taxing the rich (n redistributing their wealth to the poor).

                                @alienghic @WeirdWriter @cwebber So they may want poor people leading short n miserable lives (or they may not want't n are just ignorant on how ultimately them choosing to remain rich causes just that), but in fact, for maintaining their lifrstyle, they do need them existing as a class (even'f they're not dependent on any individual one)

                                    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 https://blog.cloudflare.com/agents-stripe-projects/

                                    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!

                                      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!

                                        Humans can be in the loop to grant permission and must accept Cloudflare's terms of service, but no human steps are otherwise required from start to finish.
                                        Humans are still required to sign this contract but there's now no need for them to read it.

                                          @cwebber Smart, in the sense that they are selling shovels in the dumb-shit gold rush, and they're even letting you finance it with some other suckers money!
