I recorded a conversation with Matthew Prince, co-founder & CEO of Cloudflare, a company that sits at the heart of the internet. Few operators have Matthew’s vantage point on how the network is evolving, which makes him uniquely placed to answer: if AI agents read, who gets paid?
Jump to highlights:
(00:46) The web’s currency is dying
(16:19) A mathematical model for knowledge – and its implications on the web
(24:35) What a new business model for the web could be (start here if short on time)
(39:11) How might the agentic web affect content?
