General liability umbrella policy for $1-$5MM is like $1-5k / year.

Renting robots for parties probably requires a rider.

the insurance industry is robophobic. they don't understand the fn difference between T800 robot in a boxing ring and a kid sized booster K1.

If you can’t get insurance for a business at a cost effective price, the business idea is probably not viable.

It’s not just me that has this business idea. What about companies like Tau Robotics, they are to tele-operate robots. BTW I saw their general liability clause for in service agreement:

14. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by California law:

Our total liability to you for any claim arising out of a cleaning is limited to $2,500.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost data, or loss of use.

What this does not limit. Nothing in these Terms limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud, for willful injury, or for anything else that cannot be limited under California Civil Code §1668 or other applicable law.

Apple makes phones.

That does not imply that my idea to make phones is viable.

Likewise all that contract language is only relevant to the extent their lawyers can beat a plaintiff’s lawyers.

And that is mostly a function of the piles of money available for paying lawyers.

How does this compare to fal.ai? And have you been able to get Seedance 2.5 WITH reference images / char sheets working?

Curious if there is a similar project for dog barks.

I wanted to say that seems like a stretch but then I often find myself visualizing my best guess at the appearance, including species, of an unknown dog. It seems like size of dog and pitch of bark are negatively correlated

I think it's because bigger dogs have larger throats and a bigger "voice box," so to speak. They have more of the vocal folds than a small dog, plus they have a bigger chest and larger lungs to force more air through them.

That's my bro-science understanding of it, anyway.

Yes, here's the classifier:

def get_species(): return 'Canis familiaris'

Remembering years ago when we lost $5MM of Bezo's money...

You guys should check out Apple.com

Sorry to disapoint!

I suppose it's relative.

It was essentially 2 days of work using AI to help us get it all together and we were able to release it within 48 hours of the research dropping. It wouldn't have been possible at all without using AI.

Yes I am curious if we will start to see tools that expose this surface more directly or built into the models.

I actually just saw the paper not the one they made. Just googled and found it.

There’s is likely better!
