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.

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.

How do you delete someone else's post?

[–] [email protected] 62 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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.

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

This would be sick if it could tie into Replika AI as a mini desktop companion.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

The monkey needs a hug.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

not weird at all

[–] [email protected] 4 points 4 months ago

This would be cool as fuck if it was Digimon instead of Digi-porn.

Oh CES. You always bring out the weirdest, zaniest, most unhinged ideas and put them center stage. And I love you for it.

Not the product.....this is fucking disturbing.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

If it can be 790 from Lexx then it's worth something.

Or possibly Holly.

You don’t even need to read the article to know what this will be used for.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago

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.

What's more weird to me is... acting like this is new...

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago (4 children)

The guy seems to overcame this, he still posts daily about his other Hatsune Miku dolls on his instagram: https://instagram.com/akihikokondosk/

I love the way this is written

[–] [email protected] 65 points 4 months ago

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 months ago

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 59 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So I can run linux on my imprisoned anime girl?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Doom in 3-2-1...

"Oh my! Where did these monsters come from??!?"

[–] [email protected] 23 points 4 months ago (1 children)

can't wait to have a tiny cacodemon in a tube on my desk

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I would buy that. No Arch Vile though, fuck those guys.

Yeah, so this could definitely just be an app. And then it would only be like 50% as stupid.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

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:

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???

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.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 months ago

They did. Look up Gatebox.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah, I remember that Black Mirror episode.

It has no mouth, but it must scream.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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