Warning: I spent months trying to make my own AI image generator from scratch

After burning through about $400 in cloud credits and getting nowhere, a friend in Seattle asked me why I wasn't just fine-tuning Stable Diffusion. That one question made me realize I was stuck in a 'build it all yourself' mindset that was completely wrong for the current landscape. Are we all overcomplicating things when the real innovation is in adapting what's already out there?

Holy cow, you dropped four hundred bucks before asking someone for advice? That's a tough way to learn that lesson.
