After being online for about 30 days, Hoyo are shutting their AI desktop companion down and it is being removed from the Steam store. LO, and may I add, L.

According to the official schedule, at 3:00 p.m. on August 27, the product will be updated to ar offline version, while functions that depend on online services, such as "Write a Letter" and "Upload MIDI," will be disabled. At 3:00 p.m. on August 31, "BSide: Olivia Lin" will be removed from the Steam store, and its servers will officially shut down. The offline version will retain functions such as piano performance and animated desktop wallpapers, which will remain usable even afte the servers are shut down. From entering Early Access on July 13 to announcing its shutdown on August 11, "BSide Olivia Lin" had been available for less than 30 days. Prior to this, miHoYo had spent nearly a year laying the groundwork for the character "Lin Li. In August 2025, the Bilibili account "** Fa Olivia posted its first piano performance video. The account continued to post performance-related content afterward, and in March this year, it began releasing videos of activities sucl as reading and replying to letters.It is worth mentioning that not long ago, Anuttacon, co-founded by Cai Haoyu, also permanently shut down its Al companion product "AnuNeko." This perhaps once again demonstrates how everyone is rapidly experimenting and making mistakes in the process of exploring Al, in order to find a more suitable path. Although "BSide" has now been confirmed to be shutting down, game companies such as miHoYo will likely continue exploring Al.

Hoyo have finally revealed their LinLi-Olivia project, a desktop companion that utilizes GenAI to allow you to converse with the AI character “The game leverages generative AI technology to create MIDI, audio, and in-game text in real time, delivering an immersive experience, as described.”

Every single Republican and gender critical person, including JK Rowling, supports this happening to you. They brag about building a future in which this type of humilating incident is common.

Minnesota teen says server forced her to prove her gender in restaurant bathroom The 18-year-old high school student alleged the server would not let her exit the Buffalo Wild Wings restroom until she unzipped her hoodie and showed she had breasts. For @nbcnews.com: www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-...

Hey just a quick PSA, just because a video gets made about somebody that has some owning up to do does not give you the right to harass them and say arguably worse shit in their mentions. Fuck yourself sincerely if you're doing this. (Not as much on bsky but please also call it out if you see it.)

Keep yelling at them, canceling PS+, and not buying anything from them. They wouldn't even say they are moving forward "cautiously" if they didn't see how this could poison the whole brand.

"We’re going to cautiously move this forward" - Sony says it hears the PlayStation disc backlash but will continue its plans. CFO Lin Tao said its focus was on trying to "engage the gamers" in "the future digital ecosystem". www.videogameschronicle.com/news/were-go...
