Bruno Latour's Twitter bot called @LatourBot - https://twitter.com/LatourBot - seems to be a beginning anthropological robot (or even cognitive assistant) parsing possibly sentences from his books and writings in new ways, possibly including machine translation from the French into English, and creating not perfect translation which are also very funny in their new connotations. Or maybe not ... since in this video, Bruno Latour himself talks in one sentence a little like this @LatourBot interestingly.

But here's information about LatourBot -
"This Twitter bot provides random sentences from Bruno Latour’s published writings (translated into English). Its operations don’t seem to be entirely automatic or completely random because it doesn’t post on an exact mechanical schedule, it makes a different number of postings each day, it occasionally skips a day or two, and it doesn’t seem to repeat sentences. This suggests that there may be more than one actor in the (social) network, consisting of a text-mining program and a human being running it, selecting interesting results and posting them on Twitter. It is only fitting that this kind of cyborg bot tribute be offered to Latour, whose principle of “generalized symmetry” led him to study “the productions of humans and nonhumans simultaneously” (We Have Never Been Modern 103).https://elmcip.net/creative-work/bruno-latourbot

(Bruno Latour is a Professor of Anthropology at Sciences Po in Paris, France (2006),[3] where he is the scientific director of the Sciences Po Medialab. He is also a Centennial Professor at the London School of Economics.[4] - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Latour - http://www.bruno-latour.fr and http://www.indiana.edu/~wanthro/theory_pages/Latour.htm).

I'm reminded by the @LatourBot on Twitter of both questions I've blogged about here re conceiving of Richard Rorty and avatar agency - http://scott-macleod.blogspot.com/2008/09/web-avatar-agency-talking-richard-rorty.html - as well as how I hope WUaS will be able to create a universal translator that can improve upon such translation in many ways (while recognizing how interesting such translated items are).

And beginning at about 4:04 here again is an earlier blog post of mine that suggests an approach to agency, avatar agency and Artificial Intelligence vis-a-vis language within 3D virtual worlds.
