Cloudflare announced it will block AI web crawlers by default for first-time customers to prevent unauthorized content scraping. The company is also introducing a "Pay Per Crawl" program, allowing publishers to charge AI companies for rights to their content.
The internet infrastructure provider will prompt incoming domain owners to decide whether to allow AI scrapers, with blocking enabled by default, and can identify and restrict crawlers that donāt respect robots.txt files.
Cloudflareās Pay Per Crawl program lets publishers set specific pricing for AI companies to retrieve their content, though itās available to a select group of leading publishers and content creators.
Major publishers, including The Associated Press, The Atlantic, Fortune, Stack Overflow, and Quora, are backing these restrictions, as Cloudflare CEO Matthew Prince noted, "People trust the AI more over the last six months, which means they're not reading original content."
Publishers have seized control in the AI ecosystem. As chatbots increasingly replace traditional web search tools, this shift clarifies who owns content and how it can be used. It sets a standard for fair compensation between creators and AI developers. The ripple effects will touch everything from how future AI models train to what information they may retrieve.
Everyoneās hunting for the next Unicorn.
The type of ācategory disruptorā that grows fast and turns early believers into big winners.
51,000+ investors think thatĀ Mode MobileĀ could be one of those rare finds.
Americans spend 4 ½ hours on their phones daily, and Mode Mobile is monetizing that screentime. With over $325M earned by over 50M customers and 32,481% revenue growth, Modeās EarnPhone is turning smartphones into income generating assets.
Their previous two raises sold out, and the company is now offering pre-IPO shares with up to 130% bonus, exclusive to accredited investors.
Being early is everything, and this window is still open.
Stripeās payments team faced card-testing attacks probing stolen cards and costing merchants revenue.
They launched a Payments Foundation Model, an AI system trained on billions of transactions with a real-time classifier to flag attacks.
As a result, detection rose from 59% to 97% overnight.
Plus, Adaptive Acceptance AI recovered $6B in declined payments, improved false-decline precision by 70%, and cut retry attempts by 35%.

The U.S. Senate has overwhelmingly voted to strike a controversial provision from a budget bill that would have blocked states from regulating artificial intelligence for ten years.
The "AI moratorium," introduced by Sen. Ted Cruz, was backed by figures like OpenAIās Sam Altman and a16zās Marc Andreessen to prevent a "patchwork of regulation" they claimed could stifle innovation.
A bipartisan group of senators argued the ban would harm consumers and allow AI companies to operate with little oversight. The effort to repeal it was led by an amendment from Sen. Marsha Blackburn and Sen. Maria Cantwell.
After an initial compromise to shorten the ban to five years fell apart, the Senate voted 99-1 to strip the provision from the bill completely.
Amazon is debuting a new generative AI model called DeepFleet, designed to make its robotic fleet faster, smarter, and more efficient.
DeepFleet improves robot travel efficiency by 10% by coordinating movement across fulfillment centers, reducing congestion, and speeding up order processing.
The company currently operates over 1,000,000 robots, including Hercules, Pegasus, and Proteus models, which handle heavy lifting and repetitive tasks while working alongside human employees.
The technology represents Amazon's practical approach to AI innovation, focusing on solving real problems with tangible benefits: faster delivery times, lower operational expenses, and reduced energy usage.
