Tiny anime girl cyberprison shown at CES

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.

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.

I hope it’s waterproof.

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

Yeah, I remember that Black Mirror episode.

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.

This is going to be a chapter in some little robot's history book.

Why did my mind see that title and immediately jump to that one .gif of an anime girl getting flensed?

Wake me when I can install Tayne on it.

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.

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.

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.

Video from the product website:

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.

I love the way this is written

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.

Not sure how this is anything more than a high tech tamagatchi with titties.

not weird at all

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

That's just so sad.

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

The monkey needs a hug.

the future

I can almost hear the waifu simps salivating…

Just weeb things...

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

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

Or possibly Holly.

You know it kind of reminds me of the ai construct in Deus ex Invisible War .

Anyone notice anything off in the promo video
