I would describe generalized linear model, generative adversarial networks, and LambdaMart and metric learning in more detail. I would also explain the temporal unfolding of a recurrent neural network.

You uploaded a draft version of your book to torrent sites

Haha, I didn't do that. I only uploaded drafts to the book's official website and they are still there and will always be. In fact, those drafts are updated regularly based on feedback from the readers, while paperback/kindle books don't. However, once a critical mass of manuscript updates will be made, I'll update paperback/Kindle too. Thanks to print-on-demand, even the paper book can be updated.

> If we buy the paperback, do you also send the .pdf/epub file?

PDF yes because it's identical to paperback. I send it on demand upon receiving the proof of purchase.

As for epub, I have put a significant additional effort in building a quality epub, so, unfortunately, you will have to buy it.

PDF was designed to look exactly the same independently of the device or the screen. EPUB was made to be adaptable to the screen and to the reader's preferences for font, size, colors.

In my opinion, the positive impact will come from better services (online and offline) for consumers and more creative/clean/secure work for the workers.

On the negative side, I personally enjoy Google search quality, but don't like that the websites are now made for Google bot in the first place and to the human in the second. A more serious problem is the machine-assisted hiring process in which the machine ranks candidates according to the relevance to the job description, or even filter our some candidates automatically. It reminds me of the future in the Gattatka movie and it's scary.
