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.

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???

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

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.

How do you delete someone else's post?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Don't worry, it's fake. That's not a real anime girl in the goon glass.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (10 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago

Don't worry, they have a whole separate fridge for it.

You seem awfully knowledgeable on this topic, care to explain?

All of these pictures show clothing on the Tiny Anime Girl, and that doesn't seem like accurate journalism to me.

It has no mouth, but it must scream.

Oh they have mouths and try to scream but all that comes out is Kpop

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.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Fucking seriously--i don't know how many "Moes" exist but i finally managed to block them all...i think

Right? And the Gatebox's story doesn't have a happy ending.

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

Why did my mind see that title and immediately jump to that one .gif of an anime girl getting flensed?

Folks who buy this thing should be put on a list.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

I can tell you there already is one, supply shortages and all so we will be waiting awhile.

Is this a fabrial or a faprial? The sibling isn't going to be happy about this.

Kinda surprised Japan doesn't already have digital Waifu figurines, to be honest. Seems like a logical progression from plastic figure statues, with decent margins and potential subscription or add-on sales.

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.

Waiting for MS/Bungie to do this with a Cortana figure as a Halo Re-ReMaster limited edition release.

Also. As much as I’m not the target audience here, they really need to make this lenticular 3D.
