Day 1 of #WeRobot2025! Going to try to reprise my erstwhile role as unofficial livetweeter—now migrated to bsky!—though slightly worse for wear this year, as perhaps indicated by the fact Day 1 is already half over... and perspective of not having read most papers yet (for... relatability... ￢_￢) 🧵

Good morning #WeRobot2025! Day 2 and reporting for duty. So excited to hear @elizabethjoh.bsky.social 's comments on the first paper "Robot-Facilitated Crime", hoping I catch at least the second half of the session. It's too early in the day to articulate all the thoughts I had while reading it.

On @jenraso.bsky.social's paper, @teresascassa.bsky.social notes how it interrogates the idea of "interoperability" in AI regulation and questions whether proponents of it truly mean technical interoperability, or *economic* interoperability, to aid commerce, as core driving interest #WeRobot2025

I'm at #werobot2025 and I'm making a bibliography of all the books that I've heard mentioned (librarian gotta librarian).
www.zotero.org/copystar/col...
I've included *Sourdough*, because it includes a story-line of training a robot to crack an egg.
Let me know what I've missed.

It's #WeRobot2025 week!! Possibly the most exciting session is not even occurring during the main conference itself: today's pre-conference workshop "Organizing 101: Resisting Technofascism", which we added in the face of the tech-driven dismantling of human and civil rights around the world today.
