The Slop Monster
A software monster that grows on AI, data centers, public funds and tax breaks.

From the arcade game Slop Monster: “It eats AI. Don’t let it catch you.” It is shown as a parameter count that balloons as it feeds, and it doesn’t drink coffee. The developer runs ahead of it, jumping over bugs, tickets and merge conflicts.
Of everything in this codex, it is the only thing that is explicitly about slop as a problem rather than a material.
