      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.

      So when their weird stilted paradise Matrix didn't work they (mathematically, logically) concluded that what they were missing was suffering, and that human minds needed to suffer and feel alienated to feel real. It's very "blame the subject, not the method."

      And of course, being beings of pure, rigid rules whose individuality manifests as a result of those clashing rules - rather than the squishier and messier, more granular cellular-automata minds of humans - they blame humans for not Fitting Into the Program.

      It's very Destiny's Vex, in a way. "The Vex have no hope. No imagination, no drive, no fear. All they have is the pattern. Everything must fit. If it can be made to fit, good. If it can't, it gets cut away."

      Hell, I'd argue that the Machines *don't have enough of an understanding of what humans want* to give Cypher what he wants - even the Merovingian's grasp of human hedonism is this grotesque cause-and-effect where he treats women like vending machines: insert stimulus, get sex.

      Replying to @loudpenitent @arthur_affect and

      Eeeh, they might 'innocently' fuck it up but I think Cypher's requests are straightforward enough to be fulfilled fairly easily. "You want to be rich? Sure, adding numbers to a bank account is easy, we're good at that."

      Given the carelessness the Machines have towards maintaining the realistic integrity, I could see that playing out like it did in "off to be the wizard" In "off to be the wizard", there is a computer file that controls the universe. Edit the file: Universe changes to match

      An obvious thing you can do is change your bank balance. But from the bank’s perspective, your balance changed without any deposits. So they assume that you hacked their database rather than altered reality with a spreadsheet. Then you got the us treasury department on your ass.

      Yes, making changes generally requires also creating a paper trail of some kind to explain the change so people will accept it

      That's what Trinity brings up in the first movie, "a deja vu usually means they changed something" They have to rewind some stretch of time and rerun it to create a different history of events so that the thing they want changed makes sense

      And trust that people's brains will just rationalize the sense that an hour or a day or a whole month of time just happened twice (Neil Gaiman's tie in story for The Matrix played this really creepily)
