Elon Musk, citing Cloudflare, says agent traffic has already surpassed human traffic and predicts agentic AI traffic will reach 1,000x human internet traffic within 5 years — a forecast he thinks may still be too low. Robert Scoble builds on this with a ride in a self-driving Tesla in Austin and his thesis that glasses, robots, and agents spawning other agents will multiply this further — quipping that a lazy intelligence will end up 'watching TV,' i.e. watching us, which is why he isn't worried about AI.
