Training AI Isn’t Free Anymore: Cloudflare’s Bold Move Will Change The Market. (Clip)

Cloudflare just revived HTTP status code 402 "Payment Required" to block AI companies from scraping websites for free.

In this clip, Chris and Yaniv unpack the impact of this technical but deeply strategic move, which could set the precedent for monetizing internet content in the AI era.

They explain why Cloudflare, one of the internet's most powerful infrastructure players, is uniquely positioned to implement this—and why it could change how websites control and get paid for their data.

In this clip:
* What HTTP 402 means and why it’s back
* How Cloudflare is enabling web owners to charge AI crawlers
* Why this could solve the AI copyright dilemma
* What it reveals about who really controls the internet
