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.

        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.

          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.
