      I mean, why not keep it You couldn't keep rewriting the Matrix for every single redpill who wants to come back but hey it's a moral victory and one more component for the power plant right Petty cruelty is for humans

      Would "rewriting the matrix" even be that hard? Wipe his memory from when he first learned about the Matrix to the present, wheel him into a hospital, wake him up and tell him that he inherited a pile of money from a rich relative while he was in a coma.

      They don't mind wiping *his* mind, I think, but it's said that on this deep aesthetic/spiritual level they hate changing stuff inside the Matrix and "breaking the rules" unless they have to Even though the effort it takes to do so is usually trivial

      Is lying to Cypher about a long-lost dead relative and adding some numbers to his bank account that different from manufacturing news reports from parts of the world that aren't simulated in the Matrix, though?

      It's just, like, in theory they could look for people at risk of being redpilled and try to buy them all off with a better life, and they don't do that because it's against their principles

      Replying to @arthur_affect @BootlegGirl and

      It's also likely they just fundamentally don't actually get human desires and needs, so they can't anticipate them. The Machines are not human. Who's to say their "perfect paradise" was appealing to humans, and not that they just ended up with a lurching uncanny valley world?

      Like they very much don't seem to actually understand human minds, and not JUST because they're all speaking in weird Wachowski dialogue - it's textual that Machines are stilted, weird, and kinda alien.

      Replying to @loudpenitent @arthur_affect and

      So they operate off weird and arbitrary rules - they ARE those rules, that's where their minds come from, and their human qualities are emergent and gradual. Remember, a Machine observes that unless a Machine has a *function* to fulfill, it's seen as worthless & needing deletion.

      Right, the successful version of the Matrix needed to be a team effort between the Architect and the Oracle, the latter of whom was created specifically to try to understand what makes humans tick, and ended up going rogue as a result

      She was an "interactive program" at first, some equivalent to a psychotherapist/psychoanalyst, designed to interrogate humans to try to profile and diagnose them

          And of course, even the Oracle doesn't really "get" what makes humans tick. Again, it may be Wachowski Writing, but both her dialogue & interactions, while intended to be warm, are profoundly wooden; she's speaking a language she does not quite GET even if she wants to express it

          It's Wachowski writing. The characters in Bound aren't robots, but they still talk like that

          It's where she picked up her therapist way to talking, answering questions with questions ELIZA style, refusing to give straight answers or commit to anything because she's designed to be "intuitive" and "empathetic"

          And she talks a ton of shit about her counterpart, the Architect, that of all the entities in the universe he's the one who understands the human condition the LEAST No one who actually empathize with human subjectivity on any level would be capable of building the Matrix
