Get your fascist desktop waifu today!
Fucking thing probably hypnotises you with quotes from der fuckwit while you sleep.
But what would I fill the jar with?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Razer has officially pulled the curtain back on Project AVA, a “Friend for Life” AI desk companion featuring a 5.5-inch 3D holographic display. Moving beyond simple voice assistants, AVA utilizes human-like vision and audio sensing to provide full contextual awareness, acting as a real-time gaming wingman, professional consultant, and personal organizer.
The hardware is a sleek cylindrical unit equipped with a dual far-field mic array, an HD camera with ambient light sensors, and Razer’s signature Chroma RGB. At its core, the device currently leverages xAI’s Grok engine to power its “PC Vision Mode,” allowing it to analyze on-screen gameplay or complex documents via a high-bandwidth USB-C connection to a Windows PC.
For some time, man had suffered in a world lacking an smart speaker with a camera, tits, short skirt, and ability to monitor everything he did on his computer. That world was about to end.
Expected to ship in the second half of 2026, reservations are non refundable.
I wish there was something like this on the market that doesn’t have a chatbot built in and doesn’t have Razr branding. My wife would love a holographic waifu in a jar!
An AI gooner Aquapet... "what a time to be alive"
That waifu 5 minutes after being granted screen access:
great, they're already at the slop-of-things stage of brain rot...
Fleshlight adapter in 3...2...1...
It’s missing a late-career/life-stage GG Allin companion in a jar. Which would be hilarious and pretty much the only way I’d buy one of these worthless things.
