He’s the top comment on every AI thread because he is a high profile developer (invented Django) and now runs arguably the most information rich blog that exists on the topic of LLMs.

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

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)
