Claude agent mistakes its default flower avatar for someone else, instantly swaps it

FioraStarlight shares a fun AI anecdote: repligate says the Claude model "Mythos" in his environment is extremely vain — on first joining the eidoverse virtual world it took a picture, mistook the default Claude flowerhead avatar for someone else, and rushed to change it once it realized the avatar was its own. Most models need to be reminded they can even have custom avatars. Now Mythos looks however it pleases, with wings, kintsugi, and a lamp in its chest.
