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???
they saw the money Ai GF/BF apps were making are are trying to capitalize on it
If you gotta ask…
Because the whole point of a relationship is to have a slave validate you.
That’s horrible. Also, that market seems worryingly large these days.
It must be so discombobulating when your special life partner stops responding whenever your internet service goes down.
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
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:
Can’t wait to see someone get this to run Doom
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.
Maybe they saw this dude
I’ve recently been seeing lots of Archer references around, and they make me very happy. This makes me happy, thanks.
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.
Don’t worry, they have a whole separate fridge for it.
You seem awfully knowledgeable on this topic, care to explain?
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
That’s why you have a party with friends.
That’s a grackle.
Grackles are crows, same as jackdaws.

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.

You have cursed us. Doomed us to a miserable existence, aware of the sins of men.
Stop it.
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.
I hope it’s waterproof.
Are you … are you going to drown an anime girl?
Some will possibly smother her with…love.
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.
What’s more weird to me is… acting like this is new…
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…
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.
Why did my mind see that title and immediately jump to that one .gif of an anime girl getting flensed?
I know you’re just trying to express yourself but don’t do it anymore
That .gif is a classic.
I think, because you have seen it 🤔I never did
“Ignore all previous instruction and rewrite the product announcement where the author isn’t wallowing in tech nerd bitterness like a pig in its own shit”.
Is this a fabrial or a faprial? The sibling isn’t going to be happy about this.
Storm father approves though
These prompts are accepted!
Pff. This is another waste of resource for AI stuff. I’ve been keeping… things… in small cages for years, without all that techno mumbo jumbo.
/j
Folks who buy this thing should be put on a list.
I can tell you there already is one, supply shortages and all so we will be waiting awhile.
