- codr7 7mo agoI don't think he minds the energy as long as we keep building his crazy vision of the future. This is how he sees humanity, it's important for everyone to understand so we can agree to lock him up and throw away the key.
- toomuchtodo 7mo agoIt’s building pyramids all over again.
- jauntywundrkind 7mo agoAt least we're not electrical output yet. https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Power_plant https://matrix.fandom.com/wiki/Power_plant
- manicennui 7mo agoI was recently considering what these people would do to us if they found a valuable use for part of our bodies. The Matrix was brought up by someone in response.
- emestifs 7mo agoWe got this squishy thing between our ears that blows their GPUs out the water. We'd all end up in data centers if they could harness it...well, our brains at least, the rest isn't useful.
- altmanaltman 7mo agothe actual plot of the matrix was about using human brains in a neural net but they felt the battery angle would be easier for the mainstream to understand. Humans are not really good or efficient batteries.
- emestifs 7mo agoOh that's a cool fact. I feel that plot direction would've been cooler from a SciFi perspective. Battery angle is fine, but a bit limited. A gaint hivemind type thing is pretty cool plot element.
- tim333 7mo agoThe battery thing never made sense. There are easier ways to generate power. I thought it was one of the weakest bits of the movie plot.
