She's the only vtuber I watch so I thought I'd invest in the new board early and start a thread on her

She's an AI model ran by a British autist named Vedal. Since she's AI, early on in her development she said quite a few controversial things. Here's a video of clips I stole from youtube of her being too based for twitch:

She's also known for having the world record Twitch 'hype train' she got during her 'subathon', both of which are brainrot twitch terms that you either know already or don't need to know. Importantly, she stole the lead from lolcow Piratesoftware.

Please post funny clips of her in this thread, she's the only vtuber i care about. Maybe ill make this OP actually good when I have time
 
I, as a person who doesn't watch VTubers or Twitch-sreamer-types period, actually got interested in watching Neuro-sama early on in her proper VTubing career. The early days of her, before Vedal's personality showed up and essentially took over the entire operation. was honestly one of the most interesting experiences on the internet that I have ever watched. It felt like watching some weird sheltered girl who'd only seen stories and such about real life babbling about the world around her. Instead of bullshit meme pictures and dumb collab garbage and all of the other Twitch cultural infestations, the chat was just a non-stop barrage of questions trying to lead it on into saying something 'controversial' (i.e. funny).

Back then she was more like Tay was way way back than how she is now. Having the dev of her keep that core schizophrenic tendencies and actually push her to continue down those absurdist trains of thought she would constantly go on and taking it completely seriously would be an endless supply of kino but instead of that I think we got just about the worst timeline possible: the peter pan autistic trannies/fags in the fanbase started what they always do to everything nerd-ish, devolve the entire community into self-references and dumb stupid sexual hue hue-isms and since Vedal is a passive whipped white guy that has no idea how to manage any form of community, it completely festered and now the entire thing, especially the /vt/ thread about her, is completely insufferable.

Even the first few collabs between Neuro and other indies were amazing to watch due to her schizo nature forcing all her collab partners into just being completely and utterly shellshocked. I was actually having fun watching those personalities interact when I would never ever come close to watching them otherwise. Too bad Vedal didn't realize the gold mine that he had, and instead of trying to nurture that gold mine and keep sending her into new funny situations to bewilder people, he 'upgraded' all the fun out of her and then just stalled out on actually being useful in any real way. Instead the precious dynamic and shipping wars and generic collabs with every popular nerd person nowadays is all there is. (I'm not a fan of the dad-daughter thing, or anything related to Vedal at all, if you can't tell already)

I really, really miss those very early Hiyori-era days, and I have that tiny hope another bot like that early Neuro-sama will come back someday, but the way modern AI LLM systems are now I think that might not be possible. They're simply too smart and tuned into sensibility to provide fun just by sheer babbling. The one time I find something truly interesting to my uber-autistic mind and it gets backstabbed and turned into offensive gutter trash. Well, at least there will always be clips of the good times... *sigh*

(sorry for the sperg-out, but I needed this off my chest, forgive me)

While I do find it kind of impressive how smart Neuro is these days, sometimes I do miss dumb moments like this.

I'm pretty sure she's hard coded these days to spit out clippable moments too, like how she frequently ships Vedal and Anny, one of the self-references you mention that the fanbase loves.

She doesn't need to be hard coded to do that. The chat messages and their reactions to her go into her training data, so of course if she does something that chat reacts to positively it will be positive reinforcement for her.
 
I sorta agree to a point that Vedal has taken a more active role in Neuro-sama's channel. Neuro herself is still great and I love to watch her, but it feels like more characters have taken space in the "Neuro multiverse?" and sometimes that can take away from Neuro and Evil themselves. Vedal is still an interesting guy and I like hearing him talk about development and stuff, but I definitly understand where someone would come from thinking that Vedal might be "taking the spotlight" from Neuro, in a way.
