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.

What’s more weird to me is… acting like this is new…
Right? And the Gatebox’s story doesn’t have a happy ending.
Oh one further side note, gatebox didn’t go under, nor did the service fully discontinue. It just lost the license for Hatsune Miku. So in short it’s only unhappy for the sort of people that actually go all in to the mindset. (IE the guy could go to one that says and does all of the same things as his old one did, but not with the same face and voice, and probably could have avoided the problem if he started with something that was property of gatebox, and not licensed from a game).
Ah I see. I tried to see if it was still around, but the link I went to was Japanese and gave me the impression that it was gone.
The guy seems to overcame this, he still posts daily about his other Hatsune Miku dolls on his instagram: https://instagram.com/akihikokondosk/
Wtf… I heard of the wedding thing with the digital character but I had no clue he also had a life sized doll… I dont know why it somehow makes it even worse.
Don’t have instagram so I cant look past the first page of thumbnails… but is one of those pics of him with a girl in a wedding dress? Or is he just at a friends wedding with a life sized miku doll.
I don’t have either, use an alternative frontend or mirror, like https://imginn.com/akihikokondosk/
Both. It is a picture of him with a woman in a wedding dress, and he is at her wedding with a life-size Miku doll.
All of these pictures show clothing on the Tiny Anime Girl, and that doesn’t seem like accurate journalism to me.
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.
This is going to be a chapter in some little robot’s history book.

This would be cool as fuck if it was Digimon instead of Digi-porn.
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.
Maybe they saw this dude
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
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
Feels like android is a godsend for shitty and overpriced AI projects, look at the rabbit r1
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
So I can run linux on my imprisoned anime girl?
Doom in 3-2-1…
“Oh my! Where did these monsters come from??!?”
can’t wait to have a tiny cacodemon in a tube on my desk
I would buy that. No Arch Vile though, fuck those guys.
Please do not the arch viles.
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.
I love the way this is written
A photo of your gf is actually you trapping her in a little rectangular prison, you misogynistic bastard.
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.
“Actually, they’re 183836783939 years old 🤓”
You Unix bastards!
If it can be 790 from Lexx then it’s worth something.
Or possibly Holly.
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.
I’m judging it because we have better technology and I feel like if this is what someone wants, they should have the ability to get a hologram by now.
It feels like the Humane AI Pin in that it’s kind of neat, but there’s probably already something out there that’s cheaper and safer from a privacy perspective.
And less abusive, cant find it but there was a video on friend.com by the primagen. 😕
“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”.
Jesus I couldn’t even read it. I think the product might be cute but fuck if I would want to touch the product with a 10 foot pole after reading the first line or two. (Assuming whoever wrote the article wanted people to avoid the product?). What do I know though, I thought it was going to be a google Dot with a 3d holoprojected persona inside that you could configure. But guess I’ll never know
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.
They did. Look up Gatebox.
You know it kind of reminds me of the ai construct in Deus ex Invisible War .
I’ve recently been seeing lots of Archer references around, and they make me very happy. This makes me happy, thanks.
