It only took us 29 years but HTTP 402 Payment Required might finally mean something on a wider scale… | ||

A couple questions: - The default seems to make the payment without confirmation. What stops an endpoint from changing payment amount between an inspect request and the actual request? - Will adoption of this payment protocol ever grow large enough for anyone to implement this on either the client or server? - Bots have more of a financial incentive to crawl sites than a human. I doubt this will actually stop anything - I see a AGENTS.md. How much of this is vibe coded? It's near impossible to get a sense of the care taken to review LLM output. Hard to trust with money. | ||
