How Do You Stay On Top Of The Ai Game?

Hi!

Am I the only one who pours massive amount of hours in the learning new AI tech and constantly worry of getting left behind - and still have absolutely no idea what to do with everything I learn and find a way to make a living out of it?

For those how you who DID make your skills in AI (and specifically diffusion models) into something useful and valuable - how did you do it?

I'm not looking for any free hand outs! But I would very much appreciate some general advice or push in the right direction.

I have a million ideas. But most of them are not even useful to other people, and others are already facing hard competition, or will soon. And there is always the chance that the next big LLM from x company will just make whatever AI service/tool I pour my heart and soul and money into creating completely irrelevant and pointless.

How do you navigate this crazy AI world, stay on top of everything and discern useful areas to build a business around?

Would be much appreciated for any replies! ????
