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.
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!
This would be sick if it could tie into Replika AI as a mini desktop companion.
Just weeb things…
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
There’s no way those apps make money
You underestimate the commonality of brutal dating scene, bad patenting, and loneliness. People are shelling out for those apps.
Why write that comment instead of looking it up? They make a lot of money, which has been widely reported since they started. Even without knowing that from the evidence you gotta be very ignorant of humanity to think they don’t make money. You know those bot comments on YouTube that are on almost every video now, with a NSFW profile pic and always write “ANYONE IN 2089? 💖” (with random future years)? They are used because they work, people reply and contact them and then they get scammed. That’s on a way more idiotic and deprived level than people paying for ai chat bots, it’s not even close.
And you’ve shown with your comment that you’re pretty damn stupid too, you just state something without even trying to find out for yourself and without realising how the only thing you’ve succeeded at is showing everyone here how dumb you are.
If you gotta ask…
Because the whole point of a relationship is to have a slave validate you.
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
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.
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 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
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.

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.
I was there the first time.
still…
You have cursed us. Doomed us to a miserable existence, aware of the sins of men.
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.
That’s why you have a party with friends.
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
Wait, they deleted the Jar Post?
Goddamn capitalism, that was internet history.
Don’t worry, they have a whole separate fridge for it.
You seem awfully knowledgeable on this topic, care to explain?
Bleach?
yes, please directly into my eyes.
Uh, it’s the Goon Jar! Have some respect.
That’s a grackle.
Stop it.
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
Probably JPop since it’s a Japanese character.
It’s why they’re screaming, they’re actually quite racist about it
Yeah, I remember that Black Mirror episode.
What’s more weird to me is… acting like this is new…
Right? And the Gatebox’s story doesn’t have a happy ending.
The guy seems to overcame this, he still posts daily about his other Hatsune Miku dolls on his instagram: https://instagram.com/akihikokondosk/
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.
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.
I don’t have either, use an alternative frontend or mirror, like https://imginn.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.
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.
I hope it’s waterproof.
Let’s say liquid proof
Are you … are you going to drown an anime girl?
Yes…that’s what’s going to happen here 🫥
Some will possibly smother her with…love.
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!
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.
Wake me when I can install Tayne on it.
Gimme a hat wobble.
NUDE…TAYNE
