Dr. AggroPANELIST
Yeah, that's really cool.
Dr. AggroPANELIST
And the moment they showed it, I've been counting down to seeing VTubers clip farm it.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
Yep.
Kris WolfheartPANELIST
Oh, fuck.
CameronHOST
They did.
NickHOST
She's the first because she's the first, she was the first VTuber of all life.
NickHOST
Uh, so she gets the first upgrade.
NickHOST
Oh,
CarlosHOST
Well, we've seen that for a long time.
NickHOST
Exactly.
NickHOST
Because Hololive idols, we've said for years, are two generations behind all the other VTubers that are on Twitch at this point.
speaker_4GUEST
Yeah.
Ivan SorensenHOST
is true.
Ivan SorensenHOST
People have VTubers.
Ivan SorensenHOST
We can have a P-Tuber.
Ivan SorensenHOST
Let's workshop the name a little bit.
Ethan WuGUEST
I think they need, like, comfort and translation in a way where it's like, oh, like, you know, it's not too bad.
Ethan WuGUEST
It's just like, oh, this VTuber ring or whatever, that would be this type of task or whatever.
Ethan WuGUEST
Or like, this is how you account for it.
Ethan WuGUEST
Like, simplifying everything because there is, I do believe there is a lot of jargon.
17 MINS LATER
Ethan WuGUEST
I mean, it's the same vision.
Nikhil VaishHOST
That's cool.
Nikhil VaishHOST
If you had a VTuber avatar for yourself, what is it?
Ethan WuGUEST
Oh, I actually have like a character.
Kyle KrauseHOST
Okay.
Kyle KrauseHOST
Where is Humaeheim in an information slash, in an information age slash capitalism perspective compared to our world? Are we 400 years past the first VTuber, or did Lyssy hatch when Usenet was still cool?
Ian FlynnHOST
[laughs]
Kyle KrauseHOST
Before that, it was even the-
ValkyraeHOST
... "AI streamers pre- predate this.
ValkyraeHOST
Neuro-sama has live streamed as an AI VTuber interacting with chat since December 2022."
QTCinderellaHOST
Yeah.
ValkyraeHOST
Um, "Real time infinite AI video live streams using models like MiniMa- Max, H3Max also launched in late August 2026." So yeah, I think this is, I think this has been around for a while.
Vinny CaravellaHOST
I don't know why.
Alex NavarroHOST
She emotes like a VTuber.
Vinny CaravellaHOST
[laughs]
Alex NavarroHOST
Like, it is...
Vinny CaravellaHOST
... "Okay, you guys, you live in a..." Like [laughs]
Alex NavarroHOST
Come on now.
Brad ShoemakerHOST
I don't know if I can finish this podcast now that you've said that VTuber thing.
Vinny CaravellaHOST
[laughs]
Barry MellonHOST
I mean, it wasn't crazy, but it was eventful, I guess.
Barry MellonHOST
I got accepted into a very cool charity community called Gamers for Love or VTubers for Love, which benefits... kids that are in the hospital and allowing them to get into gaming and all that fun stuff.
Barry MellonHOST
So that's been very cool.
Barry MellonHOST
And then also I've been doing stuff for the Ren Faire.
Jia ShenGUEST
...
Jia ShenGUEST
but if it's a character like for us a cart- like what we notice with when we do VTubers, they wanna be, we wanna make them look like anime, right?
speaker_0HOST
Mm.
Jia ShenGUEST
But when we're doing mascot characters, like we're working on some prefecture characters, they're just like hand drawn and actually lower frame rate is better.
12 MINS LATER
Jia ShenGUEST
So our company, like, you know, the, the founders, like me and my brother, we're both technology background, right? And so we built companies based off of technology first.
speaker_0HOST
Mm-hmm.
Jia ShenGUEST
Uh, so the fundamental base for 8K Virtual is an animation engine for, for characters, and that al- that allows us to do, you know, generally whatever we want, but we had applied it to VTubers animation, and that's why we actually started looking at AI to power these characters pretty early on, like, basically like three years ago.
Jia ShenGUEST
Um, because for us, we as, as an engineer, you think, "Oh, I have a great character engine."
Malcolm CollinsGUEST
And you'll see mainstream leftist creators like Hank Green have to go on this giant apology tour because he used AI for research.
Malcolm CollinsGUEST
And if you talk about, like, the biggest AI fight we were in this year, one of our friends, who's a VTuber, Leaflet, made a free AI tool that allowed people to create VTuber avatars, gave it away for free, and we ended up hosting it on our platform where people could use their own APIs, so they didn't even need to pay us, and the left online, like, lost their mind about this.
Malcolm CollinsGUEST
It was trending on Twitter for, like, a week and a half.
Simone CollinsGUEST
Oh, but also death threats, doxing, very, very intense stuff.
