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.

    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.

    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.

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

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

    Or possibly Holly.

    “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.

    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.

      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

          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 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

        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 they could get it under $400 I wouldn’t be surprised if they had tried that, kinda like those toy squares similar to tamagotchi that you could attach to each other so the sprites could interact. Or digivices, give me holographic digimon brawls.

    A photo of your gf is actually you trapping her in a little rectangular prison, you misogynistic bastard.
