>>38350 Mind crosslinking it ITT, Anon? Makes things easier for us all (eg, I have no idea what thread you mean r/n). TIA.

>>38353 Sure, but it was just text >>17422 Here's the github https://github.com/HRNPH/AIwaifu I actually was going to recommend deleting the thread, but before that I wanted to preserve this one resource beforehand

>>38355 >crosslink >PLUS hotlink to actual resources Bravo! Nice work, GreerTech. :^) Looks like a really good idea, Anon. Nice find! >"Open-Waifu open-sourced finetunable customizable simpable AI waifu inspired by neuro-sama" <simpable AI waifu leld. :D <---> >I actually was going to recommend deleting the thread, but before that I wanted to preserve this one resource beforehand <baleeting thread I'm not at all in favor of deleting any reasonably-good information from /robowaifu/ . As I've stated before, I consider it all part of the historical legacy & heritage of this board (call me a data hoarder? :DD Anyway, regular namefags here contributed in that thread... no way would I want to yeet that!! But I do agree that thread should be merged together into a better target thread. Have any good suggestions for our @Mods, Anon? Cheers. :^)

>>38357 Not a mod, but maybe the archive thread (>>12893)? It seems like a dead-end thread anyway; I already transferred the useful technical data over here.

>>38360 The other option is to resurrect it with new data, but I fear that may be redundant with the threads we have now, especially this one

>>38360 >>38361 Then whatsay we simply merge it ITT? rm'g redundancy is the primary aim of thread consolidations, I think (with a secondary-goal of freeing up more of our limited thread budget here).

>>38366 Yeah let's merge it

>>38371 OK, done : ( >>17377 ).

Looks interesting. If any'non here tries it out, I'd like to hear about it please. Cheers. :^) https://docs.llmvtuber.com/ https://github.com/Open-LLM-VTuber/Open-LLM-VTuber

>>38383 I've had this installed for a few months. I just found they have an android client too and works fine on a cheap tablet https://github.com/Open-LLM-VTuber/Open-LLM-VTuber-Unity/releases Install is easy since it's UV. Much easier than PIP or Conda. I currently have it running the default edge-tts but using the en-US-AnaNeural voice instead since it's an anime character. Also changed the LLM to a 7B so I can run it constantly and still game. But, I also just got a topfire doll with metabox AI. Nothing more visual than that! The CCP might spy on me, but that's fine. I just won't talk to it about tiananmen square

>>38403 He's back!

>>38403 Hi Barf! Good to see you again, Anon. :^) Great, thanks for the feedback. That's encouraging to hear, Anon. I'm glad to see you can tweak things down to more low-spec and it still works OK. Good to know. >The CCP might spy on me, but that's fine. I just won't talk to it about tiananmen square Lol, good advice. My own personal take on this (being in Burgerstani r/n) is that I'm far-less concerned what Dr. Lee or Mr. Wong think of me, and far-more concerned about some mentally-deranged glownigger sicking some local yokels on me for my doubleplus-wrongthing; ie, the so-called Troon-Thug Cycle. ** That could actually affect my life. What the Chinese do or don't think about me is of little concern. <---> BTW, I'm probably going to have time to begin working towards some kind of basic facial line-animation system in C++ , as we discussed regarding using ImGui soon. Can you point out to me where it was we were having that discussion before (ie, a board crosslink), please? I've lost track atm. Cheers, Anon. :^) --- ** AKA, the Ministry of Truth => Ministry of Love cycle.

>>38405 Not sure about C++ facial animation. Right now I'm just using KDtalker with a lower frame rate. It takes ~30s to get 15s response with piper TTS on a 3090, so like 5 more seconds for full voice cloning. It only works for humanoid avatars though. https://github.com/chaolongy/KDTalker You just have to change the inference.py to the audio\image file of your bot program. That gives you a full video\audio cloning head avatar. Full body with prompt direction is close with framepack. That would work with non-humanoids too.

>>38405 >The CCP might spy on me, but that's fine. I just won't talk to it about tiananmen square >Lol, good advice.

What the Chinese do or don't think about me is of little concern. I 100% agree. Every time someone brings up spying through Chinese technology, I always say "what's Xi Jinping going to do with my data?" Better someone far away and removed than people at home. Not to sound like a CCP shill, but westerners have some nerve pointing the finger about spying and political censorship. A Russian and an American get on a plane in Moscow and get to talking. The Russian says he works for the Kremlin and he's on his way to go learn American propaganda techniques. "What American propaganda techniques?" asks the American. "Exactly," the Russian replies.

>>38410 OK, understood Barf. I'll just munge something together as suits me along the way then. Probably around the start of Summer would be my current estimate. Stay tuned. >KDTalker Neat! Looks pretty sophisticated. I'd love to be able to take a whack at this myself sometime. Cheers, Anon.

>>38411 >I always say "what's Xi Jinping going to do with my data?" Better someone far away and removed than people at home. >ur pics-related Exactly. The GH-kikes are hoping that the old Cold-War era brainwashing on their parts is still in play -- rent free -- inside the heads of Westerners today. LOL They somehow seemed to forget -- we don't consoom their Idiot Box day & night! >Not to sound like a CCP shill, but westerners have some nerve pointing the finger about spying and political censorship. This. And as to the CCP, I'll totally shill for them instead! :D In a strange turn of bizarro-world events, the baste Chinese -- under Emperor Xi's tutelage, no doubt -- have in-effect become a National Socialist country today (or close enough). Meanwhile it's the w*st that is the den & haven of (((Filthy Commies)))... both within the governments & without! >tl;dr What a strange timeline this is, Anon. That those silly Chinee will be the ones who usher the world into the Robowaifu Age!! Buckle your seatbelt, Dorothy... <---> >A Russian and an American get on a plane in Moscow and get to talking. >The Russian says he works for the Kremlin and he's on his way to go learn American propaganda techniques. >"What American propaganda techniques?" asks the American. >"Exactly," the Russian replies.

>>38419 >DA GOVERNMENT IS LE SPYING ON ME THROUGH MY OPENAI KEY >DEEPSEEK IS OK THOUGH, IT IS JUST IS, OK??? Just say you goon to loli all day lil bro it's not that hard

>>38430 Kek. Clearly you're not following the play-by-play here, fren tourist. Welcome! Please have a look around the board while you're here. :D

>>38433 Based on them making fun of our Corpo API privacy concerns and our preferences of DeepSeek, I suspect it's someone from CHAG

>>38434 Heh, maybe, maybe-not. Regardless, libshites/filthy-commies/kikes/glowniggers have been a regular here since ye olden times. Oddly-enough some of them recognize the fundamental existential crisis that robowaifus mean to their scams against humanity, while many Anons did not (though I think that's slowly changing). >tl;dr Meh. The redpill is too hard to swallow for them, let 'em rot in it if they insist ('you can lead a horse to water' & watnot). We'll still press on to achieving this age-old dream, all the same. Cheers, Anon. :^) FORWARD

>>38436 I did consider that, but the specific mocking of our disdain and arguments against Corpo AI keys reminded me of that thread.

>>38437 True enough, GreerTech. OTOH, if even just one of their honest cadres comes over to recognize the flaw in their reasoning on this topic, then I'd consider that a win for us here. And its not that hard a get for them either; after all, /lmg/ has been a thing on 4cuck since the original LLaMA """leak""". :^)

Funny seeing all the factions fight. The same factions probably exist in the 3-letter agencies, as we've seen their chat logs. Just imagine what they have since xkeyscore over a decade ago. If your local fusion center doesn't like you because of a bumper sticker, you are now a target for harassment. It goes both ways though, so we'll see how that all plays out. As for visual avatars, there will be corpo models. Elon will probably make a catgirl avatar for grok, zuck his metaverse version, microsoft will make clippy and that will get someone off no doubt. All of those will have to comply with subpoenas, and then it's just who is doing the enforcement. I really dont care as a lolbert. I think some welcome the authoritarianism as long as it is for their tribe. I don't have a tribe - hence robowaifu. I'll just build my own roads and robots. It's not that hard if you have the capital.

>>38439 >Elon will probably make a catgirl avatar for grok Kek'd . I'm still holding out hopes he really meant that, and wasn't merely sh*teposting! :D >It's not that hard if you have the capital. Trust me bro, if I already had that kind of capital, then the whole world that wanted them would already have -- here, today -- freely-available, pleasing & effective, opensource (MIT-licensed; both h/w & s/w), 100% offlined, locally-run robowaifus+kits!! This is what we're striving for here, and nothing less will truly suffice. Cheers, Barf. :^)

>>38440 >100% offlined, locally-run robowaifus+kits!! That's the dream. I'm just not sure they should be subsidized or we'll get a one size fits all robowaifu. But, I support the concept and look forward to future iterations.

>>38443 >I'm just not sure they should be subsidized or we'll get a one size fits all robowaifu. It's a fair point. As counterpoint, I offer the Wright Brothers and their flying wonder. Until their breakthrough achievement, there were no powered flying machines. Once the breakthrough occurred, then men from nations all over the West were inspired and in less than 20years later, there were literally dozens of flying machines in production. I consider this kind of like 'breaking the 4-minute mile'. Somebody's gotta do it first...may as well be us here on /robowaifu/ . >tl;dr Till now, there are no widespread robowaifu designs, suitable as kits for everyman. I'm pursuing the business acumen to achieve the funding to start a company doing just that. Until then, Anons can only dream of the future. I personally don't consider that enough! Simple as. :^) TWAGMI

>>38444 >a new craze a la wright brothers At the risk of derailing the thread, a major issue is that any dork who rubs two wires together thinks they're Tony Stark, and create videos for ad revenue rather than create a product to sell. Something like this caused the Mech Crash of 2018: a bunch of companies built "mechs" in response to the "Megabots vs Kuratas" hype train until the fight actually happened then disappeared due to all the negative press (Megabots were chill but kinda fly-by-night while Suidobashi Heavy Industries were stuck-up pricks). I can't help but feel we're seeing a psychohistoric echo with all these "advanced humanoid robot" videos on youtube. I heard there was a chinese robot foot race that got heavily censored because most of the robots would take 2 steps and fall over. Unless the robots are out in random crowds (like elon did with having optimus being a telepresense device) or actually available for purchase all "advancements" should be taken with skepticism. After all, it was revealed one of Amazon's "Smart Stores" wasn't run by AI but a bunch of Indians watching via camera and taking notes... >>38443 >That's the dream. I'll try to get around to some durability testing for Pringle at some point, because if she passes the durability tests she'd be ready for public release and I made sure that she is very easy to work with :)

>>38444 Not to toot my own horn, but I feel like Galatea is that kit. It's finished and published, and available for any to build. Now my hope is that it will be the Wright Brothers moment >>38443 >That's the dream. I'm just not sure they should be subsidized or we'll get a one size fits all robowaifu. But, I support the concept and look forward to future iterations. Agreed on the design philosophy. I don't think there will or should be one "The Robowaifu, alright pack it up everyone". Multiple people have different ideas, desires, and visions.

>>38453 >>38454 LOL. OK, ok guys -- you've convinced us... THE FUTURE IS HERE

>>38460 I probably just watch too much animu, right? :D "Chii?"

>>38453 >she'd be ready for public release and I made sure that she is very easy to work with :) Nice! She'll be a great part of the first wave of real robowaifus!

So, how do we go about promoting & distributing the robowaifus that are already here? My mental canon involves a self-supporting business doing that (for-profit sales [fully-assembled or kits], freely-distributed designs, software, & kit-assembly support). Since that business isn't here yet, how can we achieve something similar without it?

Obviously, we are all derailing the Visual Waifus thread r/n. Let's move to the thread of your choice please, Anons.

>>38454 >>38453 I think Galatea could be sold on Etsy or where ever as is. Hope to see you guys sell kits. Maybe just a marketplace thread with links to different projects. I was mostly joking about the subsidy thing. If my tribe's casino produced enough money to hand out robowaifus to tribal members, I just fear they would also look like my tribal members, so I'd go for the Chinese silicone version and pay for it myself. I mean, I wouldn't refuse the state mandated robowaifu of course. I'm just not sure I could move the thing. For visual Chinese made waifu, here's one I have on order right now. It has moving hips, neck, tongue and built in AI. Not bad for $2k.

>>38464 Yup! One thing about virtual waifus (and to circle back to my potentially derailing post) is that due to their nature it is pretty easy to prove if the maker is lying about its functionality. Eg "want to try out my virtual waifu here's the download link/place to buy" vs "I built a virtual waifu but no I won't share/monetize it". No need for specialized hardware a lot of the time. I have a similar program that has little SOS brigade members run around my screen with some "Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" action. The program made in like 2009.

>>38453 I still believe in the heart of the cards mecha. I think right now the mech industry is going through its equivalent of the period between the first video game crash and Nintendo reviving the industry. Somebody will succeed in making mecha popular and profitable enough to build a business on at some point. I think there should be a thread about it, but I tried last year to make a thread about covert ops robowaifus and apparently that's considered off-topic here, so I don't know how you could justify having an /m/ thread here. Also even if there was a thread I don't know that I could be around enough to participate meaningfully in it. I've always lamented not being able to do more to further the robowaifu cause, which is partly because I'm busy with other things and partly because I have little in the way of skills that would be useful for this.

>>38474 >One thing about virtual waifus (and to circle back to my potentially derailing post) is that due to their nature it is pretty easy to prove if the maker is lying about its functionality. Good point, Mechnomancer. >little SOS brigade members run around my screen with some "Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya" action. A cute! Giving them contextual understanding now, and the ability to TTS<->STT would really liven things up! Cheers, Anon.

>>38476 >but I tried last year to make a thread about covert ops robowaifus and apparently that's considered off-topic here Self-defense/perimeter-patrol would certainly be welcomed and on-topic in : ( >>10000 ). However, the last thing I want /robowaifu/ to become is "Terminators-R-Us". While your effort is appreciated Anon, your topic is far too close to that destination. My apologies again, and I wish you good luck on that idea in another forum! >I've always lamented not being able to do more to further the robowaifu cause, which is partly because I'm busy with other things and partly because I have little in the way of skills that would be useful for this. Ehh, many of us are busy, Anon. I think just participating by posting in threads here on the board is sufficient to at least be an encouragement to everyone! Please continue doing so, Anon. Cheers. :^)

>>38479 Meh, it's no big deal. I've had threads closed for much dumber reasons than that. But where's the line between teaching robowaifus self-defense and teaching them to be soldiers and assassins? And also, what can somebody who doesn't have enough programming or engineering skill to be useful in building waifus do to contribute?

>>38480 Also not sure where that line is. Legally, I think most places wouldn't even allow them to have non-lethal options like pepper spray. But back to vtubers. I know nothing about them really. Has anyone else got this working and familiar with Live2D? I'm just using the default characters and there isn't a good english site for them https://docs.llmvtuber.com/en/docs/quick-start/ https://docs.llmvtuber.com/en/docs/user-guide/live2d Looks like open vtuber uses an older version of Live2D so a lot of the models won't work. Also hard to rig non-anime characters\robots. Installing open vtuber is easy if you already have CUDA\ffmpeg installed. I just had to install UV and make sure it is in my PATH statement. After that, it was just 2 commands "uv sync" and then "uv run run_server.py" to run it. Just have to edit the conf.yaml for your preferences.

>>38476 >Somebody will succeed in making mecha popular and profitable enough to build a business on at some point. Me. I originally started robowaifu development an intentional byproduct of investigating computer controls for my mech projects (I mention these a bit in my first thread about SPUD). They are pretty much like smaller robotics projects, the only difference is I'm using parts that nobody really thinks about using. And in this manner I create constructs at a fraction of a percent of the cost of competitors. It might be fun to make an AI vtuber version of my mech. I've been working with the Pillow python library and its ability to composite images so making an entirely python-based vtuber system might be a possibility with inputs to the avatar determined via a dropbox file. IDK, a little bit outside my current scope.

>>38486 >Somebody will succeed in making mecha popular and profitable enough to build a business on at some point. >Me. That goes hard

>>38486 >Me. This.

>>38486 >Me. A bold claim. It's good to have people who are willing to shoot for these big goals, but how do you intend to get the startup capital needed for this? Although if you can make good on this, you'd have ample money to pour into robowaifu development.

>>38498 > how do you intend to get the startup capital needed for this? 2nd pic is my mech family as of '22. Been going to local events since '20. Carry the workshop waifu is the first one to have a computer brain. I'm still working on making the others computerized.

have you taken notice of that super popular project on kickstarter? I got an ad for it recently. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFgXunR8b6A&ab_channel=gizmochina

>>38612 Thanks, Anon! That's very interesting. I wish them good success with that product line. Cheers. :^)

>>38612 At first I was skeptical because it looked like a standard corpo AI waifu, but I checked out the kickstarter page right now, and it does support offline AI and custom models. So I think it's going to be pretty good! Exciting times we live in. The first generation of AI waifus and robowaifus are coming out.

>>38615 >Exciting times we live in. The first generation of AI waifus and robowaifus are coming out. This. What a time to be alive!! FORWARD.
