Never Fact without a reputable primary. | ## Executive read ### BLUF June is a Jibo-still-alive month, not a Jibo-died month. The Verge, 19 June: three months after the funeral speech, “Jibo has remained more or less the same”; “Jibo never provided a timeline.” That is the primary that forbids writing an immediate March mass death. No official recall. Sony’s January-scheduled Premium Plan was not confirmed on a June vendor page opened here. ### Key judgments 1. **[Assessment — High confidence]** The 19 June Verge piece is a named-newsroom follow-up that servers were still up. File it. Do not collapse March’s “soon” into a June brick. 2. **[Assessment — Hi`è confidence]** No June CPSC, Health Canada, OPSS, or Safety Gate in-class consumer-robot action was found. 3. **[Uncertainty]** aibo Premium Plan (1,480 JPY/month, “scheduled… June 2019” on 23 January Sony paper) is not graduated — a June launch primary was not opened. ### Analytic labels - **Fact** — verified reporting or primary record - **Assessment** — analytic judgment - **Inference** — reasoned but not directly observed - **Uncertainty** — unresolved information gap ### Source grades - **A1** — authoritative primary record / directly confirmed - **B1–B2** — generally reliable and corroborated - **C3** — useful but requires caution (typical for forums) --- ## 01. Jibo still talking in June — “soon” was not a 4 March cut-over *Event / publication dates: 19 June 2019 (The Verge)* **Product class.** Social / desk companions **Verified record — [Fact — B1]** James Vincent, 19 June 2019: the March update “arrived like a terminal diagnosis.” Quoted robot line: “While it’s not great news, the servers out there that let me do what I do will be turned off soon… Once that happens, our interactions with each other are going to be limited.” Then: “Jibo never provided a timeline on when the servers would shut down, and in the nearly three months since it delivered its message, Jibo has remained more or less the same.” “As it stands right now, no one knows when Jibo will shut down for good.” SQN, Cynthia Breazeal, and Jibo Inc. did not respond. One owner claimed a note from SQN’s Ryan McCalley: “retooling” and “looking to emerge soon” — company statement via owner, not a press page. Hobbyists trying to host files locally “hasn’t gotten far.” [The Verge](https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/19/18682780/jibo-death-server-update-social-robot-mourning). CBC Radio same week: owners “still have no idea when they’ll lose” the units; same “soon” quote. [CBC](https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asithappens/as-it-happens-thursday-edition-1.5192165/it-almost-becomes-a-family-member-jibo-robot-owners-brace-for-eventual-shut-down-1.5192654). **Do not write:** every Jibo died in March 2019, or that a court ruled on the brick. Neither is in this file. **Threat landscape.** A slow cloud-kill without a date. The harm is anticipatory loss of a companion, not a confirmed June cut-over. Physical harm is none. **Forum / community notes.** - Owner mourning and reverse-engineering notes are in the Verge piece (C3 via B1). No independent Reddit thread was opened. **Intelligence assessment.** [Assessment — Hi`è confidence] June’s Fact is “still up, no date.” [Inference — Moderate confidence] An undated “soon” is itself a control. [Uncertainty] The day the last production Jibo server dies remains unpublished. **Opportunity.** A dated SQN sunset or any AG filing. **LRRK relevance.** Control Fabric. Watch: Jibo cut-over still not dated. **Confidence.** High on the 19 June Verge record. Low on SQN intent. --- ## Forward indicators 1. A dated Jibo server-off. 2. Anki “details of this plan” or a named buyer — not a June Fact. 3. First 2019 official consumer-robot recall (none found). 4. ANSI / EN robotic-mower paper if a 2019 official text appears. 5. Terra Germany SKU or US beta terms. > **Collection integrity.** One signal. **Jibo June primary URL:** [The Verge 19 June](https://www.theverge.com/2019/6/19/18682780/jibo-death-server-update-social-robot-mourning). **Killed:** March mass death; court anti-brick ruling; aibo Premium Plan as a June Fact (January schedule only); RAPEX A12/0779/19 Robo Fish and A12/0846/19 “robot mouse” (24 May / 7 June) — RoHS solder toys, not consumer kinematic electronics in this portfolio; Pertisau 2018; 2020 Dexter / Clean Base; Amazon Astro.
