New cutting-edge Amicus models to be presented as a gift
On the fourth of this month, the British royal family’s PR department announced that a ceremony celebrating the sixty-year anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Madeleine, fourth queen of the Windsor dynasty, will be held in June of next year.
On the fifth of this month, Novae Robotics Inc. (London) was officially notified of the event and revealed there is a project underway to develop and present new Amicus units to Her Majesty for the occasion. The three robots are currently under development and are known as the Royal Family (RF) Models. They will differ in appearance from existing Amicus and are to be equipped with unique, next-generation multipurpose AI. In response to the media, Her Majesty replied that she will gratefully accept the Amicus. “I’m currently thinking of the right names for them,” she said. (23 related articles)

Obituary:
Chikasato Hieda (programmer for the Your Forma development team) was a former employee of the tech corporation Rig City (based in Santa Clara, California) and a major contributor to the development and adoption of the invasive augmented-reality device Your Forma.
On the twelfth of this month, Chikasato Hieda passed away with the help of Fenster, a Swiss assisted-euthanasia company. He was forty-four. In response to queries from the media, Fenster admitted to being involved in his death but refused to give any further details since it would “encroach on their client’s privacy.”
In response to a request for comment on this news, Rig City replied, “we deeply apologize, but we are not in any position to speak on a former employee’s activities and choices.”
The funeral was conducted privately by his relatives. He is survived by his daughter, Echika Hieda.
