It rotates, and it listens.

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.

    “Look what they need to mimic a fraction of our power” - every autistic person ever.

    Seriously, I’m just surprised there are people who both need this and haven’t already trained their imagination to do better without pictures and text generators.

    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.

      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.

    According to Sybran, the Code27 was created with four goals in mind, which were:

    • l want a character l love, one that’s special to me.
    • Someone with a soul, not just a simple looping video.
    • Someone who listens, shares in my joy, and values our cherished experiences.
    • Someone who treasures every moment we share, without forgetting a thing.

    Are the engineers there okay???

    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.

        The part I find extra irrationaly annoying is that moe used to refer to wholesome cuteness and they ruined it! Like someone sitting in the park with a puffer jacket and a cup of noodles just looking cozy. Lo-fi anime to study to.

    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

        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.

        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

          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:

      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.
