CIRCLE WITH A DOT

#Emacs repeat-mode also combines really well with #expreg (expand-region). expreg looks like a worthy successor to Magnars' `expand-region` package, which many of us have grown to love.

I have it set so `C-c y` marks the semantic 'thing' at point, and subsequent presses of `y` or `u` expand or contract to the next semantic unit.

Works well out of the box. Should work even better if/when I get my head around #treesitter.

This is my config:

(repeat-mode 1)
(defvar expreg-expand-keymap
(define-keymap
"y" #'expreg-expand
"u" #'expreg-contract))

(put #'expreg-expand 'repeat-map 'expreg-expand-keymap)
(put #'expreg-contract 'repeat-map 'expreg-expand-keymap)

(global-set-key (kbd "C-c y") #'expreg-expand)

I read this described as breaking a social contract. Pre-AI, the writer always put more time into writing a piece than the reader would spend reading it. In effect, they were giving you X hours(days/months) of their work, hoping to earn Y minutes of your attention.

AI has inverted this. The writer now demands Y minutes of our attention in exchange for X seconds of their 'effort'. It's anti-social narcism: my half-baked idea is worth your careful consideration.

And of course there's the knock-on effect you describe, in that we now have to interrogate every piece of writing we encounter to determine if it's a good faith expression of someone's thoughts, or just some fleeting thought inflated to a grotesque imitation of human communication.

#TheFaithOfBeasts is out! Second Book in #JamesSACorey's latest #SciFi epic, #TheCaptivesWar

I loved the first book, #TheMercyOfGods. This is the same writing team that brought us #TheExpanse. The new series is in a different setting, much further in the future.

So far it hits on similar themes and ideas to the ones that made the first series so great. This one promises to be less military-oriented, and more focused on how to resist when violence isn't a viable option.
