Reminds me of how Scott Adams hedged in 2016 with all sorts of disclaimers that he wasn't really a Trump supporter, he was just impressed by a "master persuader." Now look at the guy.

I picked up a modern Fortran book from Manning out of curiosity, and hoo boy are they even worse in terms of trend-riding. Not only can you find all the AI content you can handle, there's a nice fat back catalog full of blockchain integration, smart-contract coding... I guess they can afford that if they expect the majority of their sales to be ebooks.
