I’m reposting this to new users of Bsky. I have a visceral issue with the use of GAN profile pics. You may very well be a decent actual person. But using a deception image as your profile pic is just something I can’t get past without a good explanation.

Just a heads up to new followers. If you use a GAN (AI generated fake person-does-not-exist) profile pic, I will not follow you. Just on principle. There are many ways to remain anonymous if you wish, without use of deception images as your profile (caveat: extreme obvious fake for ironic purposes)

But true that troll farms use GAN to fake being authentic
I've always been anonymous & secure, from 1200 baud modem/BBS to cel phones and social media
Not even my cel has my real name or certain accounts on it, and only cel has SM. Because providers are notorious resellers of data
When cutting glass you cannot delay the 'break' or the glass will start to heal & therefore could alter your edge
Also have found temperature in my studio (top of A frame with woodstove on mainfloor) directly effects how the glass responds.
Its why when I retired it was on my bucket list
I demand interesting and opinionated!

That’s very different than using an entirely artificial image that is deceiving the viewer into thinking it’s a real person in the picture.
