- Created by David Benioff, D.B. With Emilia Clarke, Peter Dinklage, Kit Harington, Lena Headey. Nine noble families fight for control over the lands of Westeros, while an ancient enemy returns after being dormant for millennia.
- I purchased an Annoy-a-tron 2.0 for my 14y/o son’s Christmas stocking. He has a wry sense of humor but has not heretofore been much of a prankster, which I believe makes him an excellent new “owner” of such a device as he isn’t likely to be anyone’s first suspect.

Click-O-Tron1 that trains the RNN with millions of articles from sites such as BuzzFeed, Huffington Post, and Up-worthy. Algorithmically, this line of work can be derived from the task of language modeling and text generation in AI. There has been considerable progress in generating realistic text, either in randomized (e.g., 9) or controllable. To this end, I created Click-o-Tron, possibly the first website in the world where all articles are written in their entirety by a Recurrent Neural Network. New articles are published every 20 minutes.

Casino industry news. SkyNet is coming for BuzzFeed. A new site called Click-o-Tron is auto-generating clickbait-style news with the express intent of “…automat(ing) the writing of these, thus freeing up clickbait writers to do useful work?”

There have been some great attempts at auto-generating web-like content recently — two favorites are Nora Reed’s Thinkpiece Bot or Darius Kazemi’s Two Headlines. But what separates Click-o-Tron is that it’s trying to generate content alongside the headlines, and that it’s learning what works and what doesn’t over time.
So headlines that started as the nonsensical “Real Walk Join Their Back For Plane To French Sarah York” become the ridiculously plausible “Tips From Two And A Half Men: Getting Real.”

Click-o-Tron developer Lars Eidnes has a long blog post about the neural networks he’s using to develop the site. While much of it is technical, there are also some fun tidbits like this paragraph:
“Another good one is “Romney Camp: ‘I Think You Are A Bad President.’” It’s suspiciously good – it wouldn’t surprise me if this was a real headline that some website had published. But it’s not in the dataset, not even close….The network knows something about language, and it has some level of knowledge about the world by knowing what words are semantically associated.”
How is Eidnes doing at his goal of “forcing other producers of useless journalism to produce something else” by flooding the market? Many of Click-o-Tron’s headlines aren’t bad: “How The World’s Most Extreme Baby Moms Lost Weight” and “Girl Arrested After One Year On The Run For Another Magazine” are both winners. But in terms of text, Click-o-Tron hasn’t yet figured out how to include lists in its promised listicles. Frozen fruits game.
