The DM@X AI panel has made me think we are experiencing a collective reaction formation to a highly unstable and uncertain technological future. It will be fascinating to see how things look once we have better assimilated the use value of this powerful technology. #digitalxroads

A generation ago "simulacra" ushered in spate of Baudrillard inspired creative works that were not tethered to the dreary concept of originality. Has AI revived a desire to return to the idea of the artistic "original"? #digitalxroads @PatchFrasr

Peter Lyman's last slide suggests that there may be a drop-off of Canadian Foreign Location Service Production in 2023. How closely will this correlate with a significant drop in US domestic production in 2022?
