AI bots are becoming human like. They are build and designed to do the small tasks. And they do hit the servers. And those servers are now demanding payments before the bots hammer them. So the x402 payments were made by all the crypto blockchains in unity. And Solana was first to deploy it. 

AWSs cloudfront has many AI bots coming to the traffic. And now the AWS wants to charge the bots with the USDC to such traffic to monetize from requests. Expensive isn't it? Yes compute is the new fuel. 

In near future there would be agent interfaces. And bots would be forced to pay or they wont get what they want. Kind of like paywall and gates. But on the bot level. So things are just moving one step ahead. And AWS being the compute king. They want to monetize out of such stuff.
