2026: The Year Slop Companies "Made an Exit" (Threw in the Towel Over to Wall Street)
Days ago: IBM is "Making an Exit". Only the Executives Will Get Rich.
Slop made by LLMs is not thriving and right now some of the allegedly largest (but not GAFAM) companies "make an exit", realising that they will never make a profit - not because they're charities but because they're selling crap in large quantities and almost nobody is willing to pay for it.

Nothing else we can see/find.
Remember 2026 as the year two major slop companies (which we won't name) sought an IPO, i.e. they wanted to offload the losses and debt to Wall Street, not just circular financing pyramid scams/schemes like Microsoft's and NVIDIA's (Microsoft 'selling' Azure to itself and NVIDIA paying for its own sales of NVIDIA GPUs). █
