So, what, they all go to a landfill? Such horseshit that companies like this don't have to clean up after themselves...

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

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. I know personally many people that worked there and they're some of the best engineers. Never cared for an AI robot for kids myself, but it seemed to work well...
