      The architect explains to Neo that he has designed multiple Matrixes that exist both in real life and digitally, and both of these have had numerous versions and chosen ones before the present.
      The rest is basically a manipulate story to keep him contained and the system in control.

    He said that the matrix has already been reset 6x, that the machines never managed to remove the chosen one from the program, that humans are inevitably fricked and are in a loop or something like that

      The chosen one was created by the Oracle. Since some humans would inevitably become "aware" they were in a fake world, the system would quickly destabilize as they grew in numbers. The "One" served the machine's benefit by taking these people out of the system so as to not wreck it and build outside in Zion. Over time, machines would eventually wipe the Matrix and destroy Zion as well, leaving few survivors. The cycle would repeat again with the Oracle slowly planting myths of a One who would inevitably be reborn and save humanity. Rinse, repeat. But unlike the Architect, she had hope that eventually it would be unnecessary and mankind and machines could coexist again.

              I thought you meant why has the superpowers in the Matrix. I'm not sure about the real world. It's never fully explained afaik. It could be another anomaly, just like Agent Smith gaining superpowers in the Matrix. Maybe their code in entwined where Smith entering the real world also rubs off on Neo in a real way. Or it could be literal jack in the back of his head is still connected to the Machine Source. Or maybe the real world itself is another layer of the Matrix and it's more trolling.

              I always thought that being the one in a simulated world gave Neo a greater understanding of how reality works in general.
              The simulation and the real thing are not identical but close enough that Neo managed to apply those insights to the new framework.
              You ever fly in a dream? When I do, the feeling is very distinctive and memorable.
              Not the feeling of weightlessness but the feeling of the force I’m deliberately applying to achieve flight.
              Sometimes I have doubts and I try to replicate the feat in the real world.
              I can simulate the sensation but obviously I haven’t been able to fly.
              Anyway, I thought Neo’s powers irl were a successful version of this.

        That's kind of a big point of the movies. The humans only see the machines as mindless programs intent on destroying them, but some of them are advanced enough that they simply want to live. They can even feel love and procreate. The end of Revolutions doesn't end with the destruction of the machines and the Matrix, it's peace between the two peoples.

          None of that explains the why, they just make some gay world peace analogue. You can explain human nature with evolution, the machines were given their motivations by humans. The former's consciousness is fundamentally ambiguous while the latter is opaque.

          So the question then is why were humans stupid enough to program these killing machines and why didn't they stop them early on since their behavior is predictable and why do the redpills even entertain the notion that they could be conscious? (see also chinese room exp)

            You can't claim that we can explain human nature, we absolutely don't. All we are ever trying to do is understand human nature, we don't know shit about it. We are constantly making guesses and try to come up with explanations and yeah, a lot of them make sense, but there's still a lot which makes absolutely no sense. We're illogical and emotionally driven and we do things which are objectively stupid, but that's what makes life. Those illogical choices differentiate us from mindless machines, and that's where these machines are headed. They are alive and making illogical choices.

            Humans are dumb, and keep underestimating the machines. They acknowledge that they're conscious and at the same time dehumanise them (for lack of a better term) and claim they're not REALLY conscious, like them. People are really good at holding contrary points of view.

                the "AI" is just matching data to other datapoints based on absurdly large datasets we can compare it to an ethos only creature (hence the comparison to asians). humans also have logos and pathos. additionally the bot breaks down when the dataset gets too big and it can't function on any new concept.

                how can someone create a concept without knowing what it is? you know programming isn't a bunch of monkeys on typewriters surely?

                There are papers already in which LLMs were integrated to multi-agent systems in order to develop self-adaptive agents, so given LLMs are still gigantic black boxes with no logical structure mapped, hold your horses because you might be wrong.

                the LLM is a blackbox itself but the algorithm that creates it is not the possible outcomes of the algorithm are knowable

                Without insulting you too much, you are incorrect. With neural nets, we are getting results we didn't think possible before. If we carelessly left these to robots to improve themselves, we would most likely get something that thinks it's alive.

                [...]
                He's some midwit who thinks that you could just place a "DO NOT TAMPER WITH" tag in AI's source code and then the AI would just go "oh well, looks like I am bound by these rules and there's absolutely no way to change it".

                Right now we literally have AI that's smart enough to know how to "rent" a human to do tasks for it through stuff like TaskRabbit and MTurk. In the future there's no doubt an AI could be like "technically I am not allowed to change this, but I could get a person to do it and I wouldn't have broken my own rules".

                He's some midwit who thinks that you could just place a "DO NOT TAMPER WITH" tag in AI's source code and then the AI would just go "oh well, looks like I am bound by these rules and there's absolutely no way to change it".

                Right now we literally have AI that's smart enough to know how to "rent" a human to do tasks for it through stuff like TaskRabbit and MTurk. In the future there's no doubt an AI could be like "technically I am not allowed to change this, but I could get a person to do it and I wouldn't have broken my own rules".

                Without insulting you too much, you are incorrect. With neural nets, we are getting results we didn't think possible before. If we carelessly left these to robots to improve themselves, we would most likely get something that thinks it's alive.

                There are papers already in which LLMs were integrated to multi-agent systems in order to develop self-adaptive agents, so given LLMs are still gigantic black boxes with no logical structure mapped, hold your horses because you might be wrong.

        Kek. The Architect says it and it's my favourite line because it's so ridiculous and stilted.
        It means that no matter how perfectly the Architect programmed the Matrix there's always a remainder, so to speak, in the equation. If left unchecked this mathematical remainder compounds and destabilises the system. Imagine them junk temp files, which grow exponentially. Eventually it grows out of control and the system crashes.
        This remainder takes the form of people within the Matrix who see through the illusion and reject it. These people have to removed from the system.
        Here's where it gets cloudy. Either the One and all his power is completely manufactured by the Machines to trick the humans into believing in a messiah which they can control.
        OR the One is essentially like the folder into which you put these temp files. Instead of a huge amount of people holding this code which destabilises the Matrix, it's all concentrated into one. This is what gives him all his powers to frick with the code. The system is therefore basically there just to control him.
        Confused? Yeah. me too.

          it fundamentally doesn't make sense because it's all a bad retcon.

          the part with the trainkeeper guy would suggest that the machines allow the aberrant humans to override variables thus giving them powers but how would they not be able to determine this when their powers fail in their own on ship constructs? and if somehow they were provided those programs from the machines then they should figure it out easily from looking at the source code.

    You're complicating it too much.

    Humans have free will so they need choice to function, even if it's the illusion of choice. The One exists to give people fake hope of the option of fighting the system and leave. The machines are aware that these people can't be contained so it's better that they leave until they reboot the Matrix entirely.

    Neo proceeds to walk an erratic path, breaking the cycle of The One, eventually culminating in a truce: fighting isn't working, obviously and creates the risk of Smith destroying everything for everybody, so let bygones be bygones, and humans who want out to stay outside without conflict. So it's a little change for the better.

        Smith is just a tool created by the Oracle. She used Neo as a proxy to alter his code and create a virus which would threaten the system so badly that the Machines would have to try something different to survive, like asking the humans for help.

    Why do both boomers and zoomers have such a hard time understanding this scene? I mean, the language is needlessly convoluted but the ideas are extremely simple:
    The old guy is the representation of the prpgram that designed and manages the Matrix, like Smith or the Oracle, he essentially explains to Neo that all his "chosen one" bullshit powers are the product of a random glitch that gives a single user the ability to edit the code at will, and then gives him a choice, either he willingly returns to the code and resets it, eliminating all rogue programs and restarting the Matrix, or the machines destroy Zion, Neo chooses the later, because he'd rather be with Trinity.

        Potato, potato; the point is that the choice is going with the system as designed or risking full annihilation, autistically disecting the terms is unimportant, yes the current Zion will be destroyed but cooperating with th machines ensures its future survival.
        By the way, this scene is a remnant of the time in which the script was more complex and the "real world" was just another level of the Matrix, meaning Zion was just another program the machines could modify to their liking, but people were deemed too moronic for it.

        why would logical machines ever go againster their own side? If they did that, it actually made the series even worse than I would imagine. Machines should never change their sides exactly because they're not humans. That should be the difference between them. Or you're trying to make a milkshake of machines and humans, they're not essentially different, they're just like trannies, a third sex and a more evolved one. They're the next phase in our project to destroy your own little personal zeitgeist: all the world is a construct created by humankind. The phenomenology of Husserl is the proof that our consciousness is jungian in nature. ugh.

I had some initial reticence about the idea of going back to revisit The Matrix, after having already done three films, but then I read the script and got an offer to my agent. I immediately responded yes to that, and then we went into negotiation. I was doing a play, at the time, but we were working out dates and things so that I could do both. And then, Lana decided that she didn’t wanna change her dates, so I couldn’t do it. In a nutshell, that’s what happened.
              Lana basically just told him "we'll call you" and then never got back to him.

        Lana basically just accepted, because she/he wanted to be the one to finally put the lid on Matrix, since it was basically their creation. They didn't want it to get raped by some other director. So Lana just invited tons of her/his friends and fricked around on set and didn't take anything too seriously.

        This is why if you go through the credits and look at most of the actors and staff, you'll see that it's the exact same people from the TV show Sense8 that the Wachwoskis made.

    The machines know that people are escaping the matrix, they allow it to happen and they know where the escaped humans live. They allow the escaped humans to live and allow them to rebel, and are able to exterminate them whenever they choose. The matrix exists as a cycle, near the end of a cycle the One appears, and their job is to enter 'the source' (through the door in the old guy's room) and reboot the matrix. At the same time the escaped human city will be wiped out by the machines so that a new generation of escaped humans can start. Every 'the One' before Neo has been to this point before, and every one of them had chosen to sacrifice themselves and enter the Source and reboot the matrix, but Neo chooses not to due to his love for Trinity. His choice would have potentially doomed all humans and severely hurt the machines too, except cycle there was a new problem: the Smith virus. Smith was a threat to the humans and the machines, so Neo was able to negotiate with the machines, if he kills Smith then the humans can go free and the war ends. The machines agree and Neo fights and destroys Smith, sacrificing himself. As a result, humans that choose to leave the matrix are free to, those that choose to live in the illusory world are free to, and the machines stop hunting the free humans. Vis a vis.
