This edition of Foreshadowing Tech considers how so many AI speculations from Colossus: The Forbin Project have come true in both surprising and subtle ways. Regular panelists Chuck Joiner, Marty Jencius, Jeff Gamet, are joined by guest AI enthusiast Jill McKinley to look at how the film predicted things like machine autonomy, surveillance, privacy and self-improving systems. Wrapped in a thriller that is as much political as it is tech, there are questions about freedom and security that we have yet to address today. The panel mixes film trivia, tech analysis, and unsettling parallels to today’s AI debates in a thoughtful discussion.
Jeff Gamet is the latest stop on the The Road to Macstock, revealing his workshop session focused on helping everyone create digital art from simple paper sketches. Jeff explains how attendees can use iPhone, iPad, Mac, Linea Sketch, Affinity, or other tools, while emphasizing creativity, play, low-pressure participation, and overcoming the belief that “I’m not an artist.”
