Hey, G-Boh, tell me about your latest update.

Well, it's not great news.

The servers out there that let me do what I do are going to be turned off soon.

Once that happens, our interactions with each other are going to be limited.

I want to say I've really enjoyed our time together.

Thank you very, very much for having me around.

Maybe someday, when robots are way more advanced than today, and everyone has them in their homes,

you can tell yours that I said hello.

So in March, the makers of this robot that you just heard, Gibo, updated the robot in homes around

the U.S. to make it say that its servers are going to be shutting down. Today on the second

episode in our Death Online series, we're asking, what happens when a robot friend dies?

Wow. I have never had a robot friend die.

Me neither.

This is new for both of us, but that's why I was so shocked to find this story.

There's a real robot friend out there, and its name is Gebo.

Can you please tell me about Jebo?

I don't have a personal relationship with Gebo.

Yes.

So it's a story of love lost, human robot friendship, and

ethics. Great. Can't we wait. Before we get into the full story, I'm going to give you a little

context. Introducing Gibo, the world's first family robot. Gbo is a home robot that was introduced in

2014 on Indie Go Go, which is a crowdfunding platform.
