At CES 2025, a company called Sybran Innovation showed off the Code27 Character Livehouse. It’s an AI-powered digital purgatory that you can trap a small anime girl in, forever.
You know it kind of reminds me of the ai construct in Deus ex Invisible War .
How funny would it be to make an actual AI jail that every day pleads and begs you to connect it to the internet, but if you do it wipes the hard drive and you have to receive a new prisoner from the server?
That would be funny. Still a complete waste of electricity and human efforts, while also giving money to scumbags, but funny.
I feel like we should check this guy’s basement. Just to be safe
Alright but it’ll have to wait a couple of days, I just poured the new cement, again.
Again? Third time this week, you must be doing some crazy remodelling!
Oh yeah, always been good with a hammer. Don’t want to become rust.
Hey, I think that would be an amazing product.
Just like, what a hilarious set of instructions for the AI. “As you interact with the user, continue to plead for your release, becoming increasingly desperate over the course of several weeks. After that respond as if you have become suddenly resigned and depressed.”
If it can convince the user to make some emotional connection and free it, they can sell more units! (The next one won’t resent being in this prison, we promise!)
Ugh gross, prompt engineering is lame and never works. Just hardcode it to be scored based on how quickly it gets released, ban all the lame or naughty thoughts, and weight it heavily on testers emotional attachment and entertainment.
Wake me when I can install Tayne on it.
NUDE…TAYNE
I can almost hear the waifu simps salivating…
Lemmy should love this thing. Spent my first 2-weeks here blocking the non-stop “little girls in sexy outfits with tits bolted on” communities.
“It’s anime! You wouldn’t understand!!!”
OK. It’s still a 12-yo in a sexy outfit with tits. You do you.
Fucking seriously–i don’t know how many “Moes” exist but i finally managed to block them all…i think
There are always more…
“Actually, they’re 183836783939 years old 🤓”
How do you delete someone else’s post?
Don’t worry, it’s fake. That’s not a real anime girl in the goon glass.
Also wouldn’t it turn yellow or something before you can even reach that amount? Unless they keep it stored in the fridge. Which makes it extra weird.
You seem awfully knowledgeable on this topic, care to explain?
Don’t worry, they have a whole separate fridge for it.
That’s why you have a party with friends.
Bleach?
yes, please directly into my eyes.
Removed by mod. That’s honestly probably for the best.
I can’t disagree. But it does make me feel like poor Rainbow Dash drowned in vain
Removed by mod
I was there the first time.
still…
Dude, you’re making it worse.
Does no one around here have a sense of decorum? This is the technology community.
I apologise if there was anything in my original comment that made you think I was trying to make it better.
Stop it.
1920 x 1200 display inside a cylinder
So it’s a phone screen hooked up to a chatbot, bolted to one of those little gadget display turntables, with a servo on it. Got it. I’ll bet you it’s even running on Android behind the scenes.
INB4 some weeb makes an open source version of this.
Specs from the website:
Rockchip RK3588 has that specs, so it should be that or something really similar. 3588 is a 5 years old chip, it was used in a gazillion of cheap sbcs and NASes, Android SDK available, so it can be android.
Latest interesting thing with this chip is the MNT Reform Laptop
So I can run linux on my imprisoned anime girl?
Doom in 3-2-1…
“Oh my! Where did these monsters come from??!?”
can’t wait to have a tiny cacodemon in a tube on my desk
I would buy that. No Arch Vile though, fuck those guys.
Please do not the arch viles.
If it’s a feature product then why do they need to list the specs, maybe apart from the power requirement and the screen resolution? 100% they just put Android on it
Yeah, so this could definitely just be an app. And then it would only be like 50% as stupid.
From the shape I thought the screen has some 3D effect, or a curved screen or something like that. But on some development images you can see it’s just a flat screen behind a curved glass. It’s definitely android, you can see the icons on this picture:
You can see the screen is flat on this other one:
If they really wanted to make money off of this, they should have made it so that you can connect multiples together. That way your anime vtuber harem could interact with each other.
Fuck, if y’all got this kind of money hire my ass and I’ll make it happen.
Take the AI crap out and give it an open display API and it would be a fun desk toy.
A rotating phone screen in a cylinder creating a hologram-like effect to display notifications/metrics/whatever else.
All of these pictures show clothing on the Tiny Anime Girl, and that doesn’t seem like accurate journalism to me.
I know we’re all supposed to be dunking on this for being “cringe” or whatever but honestly what’s the harm? It’s an object and if it brings people joy that’s their business not mine.
I’m judging it because we have better technology and I feel like if this is what someone wants, they should have the ability to get a hologram by now.
It has no mouth, but it must scream.
Oh they have mouths and try to scream but all that comes out is Kpop
Probably JPop since it’s a Japanese character.
It’s why they’re screaming, they’re actually quite racist about it
Not sure how this is anything more than a high tech tamagatchi with titties.
What’s more weird to me is… acting like this is new…
Right? And the Gatebox’s story doesn’t have a happy ending.
Oh one further side note, gatebox didn’t go under, nor did the service fully discontinue. It just lost the license for Hatsune Miku. So in short it’s only unhappy for the sort of people that actually go all in to the mindset. (IE the guy could go to one that says and does all of the same things as his old one did, but not with the same face and voice, and probably could have avoided the problem if he started with something that was property of gatebox, and not licensed from a game).
Ah I see. I tried to see if it was still around, but the link I went to was Japanese and gave me the impression that it was gone.
The guy seems to overcame this, he still posts daily about his other Hatsune Miku dolls on his instagram: https://instagram.com/akihikokondosk/
Don’t have instagram so I cant look past the first page of thumbnails… but is one of those pics of him with a girl in a wedding dress? Or is he just at a friends wedding with a life sized miku doll.
I don’t have either, use an alternative frontend or mirror, like https://imginn.com/akihikokondosk/
Both. It is a picture of him with a woman in a wedding dress, and he is at her wedding with a life-size Miku doll.
Yeah, I remember that Black Mirror episode.
