The logo is AI generated... I think it is reasonable to assume so is many of the other things this account does.

Yeah I was joking, don't think it is AI but I'm starting to get a bit tired of seeing his posts at the top of every AI thread.
Diversity of opinions is good, someone monopolizing the #1 comment of every AI thread is not healthy for the community.
Perhaps. But perhaps this era of AI slop leaves a foul taste in many people’s mouth. I don‘t know the reputation, all I see is somebody who felt the need to AI generate a picture and post it on HN. This is slop, and I personally get bad vibes from people who post AI generated slop, which leaves me with all sorts of assumptions about their character.
To clarify, they are here to have fun, they liked the joke about cow-ork (which I did too, it was a good joke), and they had an idea on how to build up on that joke. But instead of putting in a minor effort (like 5 min in Inkscape) they write a one sentence prompt to nano-banana and think everybody will love it. Personally I don’t.
If you can draw a cow and an ork on top of an Anthropic logo with five minutes in Inkscape in a way that clearly captures this particular joke then my hat is off to you.
I'm all in on LLMs for code and data extraction.
I never use them to write text for my own comments on forums so social media or my various personal blogs - those represent my own opinions and need to be in my own words.
I've recently started using them for some pieces of code documentation where there is little value to having a perspective or point of view.
My use of image generation models is exclusively for jokes, and this was a really good joke.
He very obviously disclosed that he had nano banana generate the logo. Using AI to boost himself is a different animal altogether. (The difference is lying)
That’s not really reasonable to assume at all. Five minutes of research would give you a pretty strong indication of his character. The dude does not need to self-aggrandize; his reputation precedes.
