Excellent, not only for the acting and all that goes into making a good film, but more so for the idea of where humanity could be going. Interesting thought, if AI will be so smart, might it put a kill switch in those implants in case we started having thoughts outside what we would be allowed? Or, might we put a kill switch in the AI in case it started to get out of our control? But if we did that, might the AI figure out how to disable the kill switch? Therein lies the problem. How would we control the machine before it controls us? Well done.

Very nice looking, VERY interesting world too. I'm nearly 20 mins in though, and I'm not tracking on where this is going, who the main character is, what the goal is, what's at stake to drive the story etc. When it jumps to the outdoor stuff with the guy with glasses, it feels like another film has begun. It's all interesting, it just needs a tighter, clearer setup. It's filled with long context dumps that isn't as engaging as experiencing essential context to get me invested in someone and their goal to drive the story. That's why conflict is so effective, it organically delivers that sort of context in a compelling way. Here, there is a lot of divulging context and there is so much of it one long stream, it's hard to take on, and honestly, care about, because there is no main character with stakes that matter, that we can get behind and care about. Don't get me wrong, this has a lot of potential, lots of very interesting, world building detail. I just needed said essential context to get invested in someone.

Thanks for watching. The conflict is the guy in the straitjacket believes in freedom of speech and he speaks out against the AI totalitarian government that controls everything and has imprisoned him for speaking out. Whereas the guy in the suit believes in censorship and abiding by the AI government partly because he benefits so much from it, ie comfy lifestyle. Although when he questions the system and considers what the madman is saying,. he ends up just like him imprisoned. And the "other movie" is really just a memory of the madman, right before he was apprehended he convinced some girl to hack the system - and the reason the memory occurs there is because in real time the AI is trying o extract that memory to get intel, so that it could capture the rebel girl and stop her from crashing the system. But its not really about some possible future, I'm just using the scifi genre to exaggerate what's going on now in some places and where that could lead us. More like a thought experiment. I'm sure I could have made that clearer and more obvious but at the time I made this (COVID 2020) I was in an experimental mood. I wanted to show these ideas with visuals and abstractions, hoping people got a feel of the story rather than having to completely understand it - because sometimes when you have to figure out what's going on, having to think about it, lasts longer in your memory. But thanks for your thoughtful feedback, you're probably right, next time I'll be clearer and less weird;)

For such a cold, unfeeling AI, Alpha certainly has a flair for artistic, illogically-inefficient architecture. It all goes to show that our fear of AI is fear of what we would do if given greater power. It is the fear of ourselves.

Thanks! I don't know how I never heard of this, I just read the wiki it sounds better than most of the scifi writing in that era, way ahead of its time for '52. And I work in marketing/Advertising so it hits close to him. I just bought it off amazon. Thanks for the reco!
