Not saying "ericpaulsen" is a bot, but the account fits the trend I've noticed of other bots on HN recently: they're all accounts created years ago with zero activity and then suddenly a bunch of comments.

Here, "ericpaulsen" was created June 2021, and the only post is in this thread we're in:

Others caught that fit this trend:
