Why would those celebs pay Stability any significant money for this, given they can get it for a one off payment of at most a few hundred dollars salary/opportunity cost by paying an intern to gather the images and feed it into the existing free tools for training a LoRA?

I think in this case the celebs are getting paid for using their likeness.

That sounds like the "lose money on every sale" philosophy of the first dot-com bubble, only without even the "but make it up in volume" second half.
