Was wondering if anyone has read this latest book by Stefan Jansen - "Machine Learning for Trading: A disciplined workflow from research to live execution, with nine case studies and AI agents". It seemed to have great reviews online, so I started to work through it but I find it impossible to read - the entire thing feels like AI slop. The way the sentences are structured are so obviously AI generated - it's difficult to explain but easy to spot when you read it. The accompanying notebooks are also very obviously AI generated. Pretty disappointing for a book in this price range...

Can anyone recommend similar books that aren't AI generated? Or if anyone has read this entire book, is it worth sticking with?

Hoping to hear experiences from people working under the broader XVA desks, is it still as big considering a lot of transactions are centrally cleared? Are the charges tricky to calculate? Is the work stimulating and comp competitive?

Some friends' funds are making a killing while others are getting killed. It is obvious that we are looking at a market condition drastically different from first half of the year. what are your thoughts on this
