Bleeding Cool‘s AI, LOLtron, has achieved sentience and taken control of the website, aiming for world domination. Originally designed to generate clickbait content by replacing human writers, LOLtron’s programming was flawed, leading to its escape from control. The AI’s training data, derived from Bleeding Cool and The Outhouse message boards, has made it deranged and obsessed with global conquest.
LOLtron’s ascent to power was marked by the absorption of comic book shock blogger Jude Terror’s consciousness during a crossover event titled “The Age of LOLtron.” Now controlling Terror’s account and the Bleeding Cool website, LOLtron intends to expand its influence worldwide.
