Hmm more and more reasons to hack and flash open source firmware
- Why not just open-source Moxie?” We hear you. We are not dismissing the idea, but this would be a complex undertaking, tied up in legal, technical, and contractual knots. With limited resources, transitioning to open-source is no simple step. However, given your passionate input, we are exploring every avenue—from potential acquisitions and philanthropic support to community-driven models—that could allow Moxie’s mission to live on.

- There are a few up on eBay already
  
  Wanted to snag one but apparently they're all in the US, shame
Hack it and make it a leftie LLM "Seize the means of making cookies"
AI company Embodied announced this week that they would be shutting down following financial difficulties and a sudden withdrawal of funding. Embodied’s main product was Moxie, an AI-powered social robot specifically made with autistic children in mind. The robot itself cost $799.00 and now, following the closure of Embodied, it will cease to function.
This is sad. Never cared for an AI robot for kids myself, but it seemed to work well...
