So yeah, what makes CTRL eery is how relatable Nella’s spiral feels.She too watches videos on "anxiety relief" and between that plus the stand up comedy clip, I saw my own algorithm reflected on screen. It’s that casual 2 AM scroll, where you’re switching between dog videos, existential TED Talks, and yet another "5 Steps to Improve Your Life" video that never works. Nella is basically us, in the very VERY near future, her life is falling apart at the hands of a malicious AI. Darr lagta hai soch kar ki wi-fi ka signal kabhi kharaab ho jaata hai toh itne naraaz kaise automatically ho jaate hain. Duniya ruk jaati hai, din ke koi maayne nahi reh jaate. No one has answers, even those working in the field don’t know where things are headed. Perhaps this is why CTRL also feels incomplete. The threat of the evil AI making company Joe Mascarenhas warns about, doesn’t feel high stakes enough, and a lot of the built up anticipation, just sorts of marinates as a cautionary footnote.
