Most of the “recent developments” which are supposed to point to an update in the target audience were quite predictable in advance (pretty much all of these things were predicted / assigned substantial probability by many people years in advance). To the extent that these cause an update in the reader, it is worth asking yourself; how could I have thought that faster. And more importantly, once you figure out what models would have let you predict the present, what further do these models predict into the future?
