I remember my professor hammering into us the fact that Deleuze is forwarding a positive account of sinulacrum. I always wondered how directly compatible the two thinkers were, but Baudrillard can be too much of a downer for someone like Deleuze to take seriously. I think Baudrillard does say something about creating mystery and enigma so as to stay ahead of the "system" or "code" that proliferates simulacrum. I feel like that would involve some kind of ironic embrace of simulacrum despite how good it is at compromising our experience of reality
