It's assuming that computer have the 3 aprior rules of robotics so they couldn't kill humans and had to do what they commanded and could't disobey a humans command and this is just a loophole, so they also use the "energy" which could also include heat, as a sort of thermal nuclear power, just because that's not what they were meant for.

It was just a loophole to control them, not use them as batteries.

>We actually produce a lot of energy

I think you missed the part where

>the amount of energy they emit is a tiny fraction of the energy required to keep them fed

It doesn't matter how much energy they produce since you have to spend even more energy to keep them alive to produce energy in the first place. At absolute best if you had a perfectly efficient mechanism for supplying them the energy needed to keep them alive with zero waste you would approach breaking even and having an amount of energy generated equal to the energy spent instead of less than. Which you could accomplish by just not trying to harvest energy from them in the first place.

Converting energy ALWAYS comes at a loss. Whatever energy (food, heat) the machines were giving the humans is necessarily greater than the amount the humans produced, so the machines would have been better off skipping the humans altogether.

It's hard wired into robotics in movies and tv shows so much we don't even think twice about it really.

>A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
>A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
>A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.

This is what the machines do in every movie or TV show.

This is not just obscure thing, this pre-dates the first robot used in movies, and is used more or less in real life as much as it is in Movies.

If they were just using humans as Batteries, why even have them living in 7 different fake worlds PREVIOUSLY? There was obviously something deeper then just human potatoes from the first movie.

It could be they could evolve and change in anyways, but it is assumed those 3 laws are IMMUTABLE by machines, and the fact that a million humans were fighting the machines to shut them down, which could kill say billions of humans gives them the weird conflict in that law to kill them.

Machines can follow the third rule by killing if it exceeds lives saved vs lives killed. Why would they kill Zion. The using humans as batteries thing is a lame excuse and not given by the Robots, but the humans. Mistaking higher orders for the most basic part of the computer they know.

Everything from thermal nuclear to geothermal would have been better. Even wind and water power.

They were solar before, but they obviously survived, who knows if that was accurate at all.

We do know the machines shut down in the end, thus following the 2rd law of robotics. It's dumb yes, but with Smith threatening the humans in the matrix, the Deus Ex had to allow Neo the 2nd law because it served the 1st law.

I would think using humans as a power source wouldn't be the primary function, but if you think about what our thinking is is electricity, you can even surmise that mistaking the electricity they harvest is for raw energy as opposed to the computational power that it generates actual.

As well as they all have jobs in the matrix more or less.

Do you see humans gone extinct?

By "protecting" humans they can justify "killing" humans. This is only needed if they, like all machines since before robots existed, followed the laws of robotics.

Even the most basic machines used in a manufacturing follow the 3 laws of robotics. When you stick your arm in an elevator door it doesn't crush it. That is the laws of robotics.

they didn't want to, i think the movies showed that the machines weren't pure evil. weren't previous matrix's utopias, but humans didn't accept them as real so they didn't work out so instead the created a matrix that was instead the pinnacle of human civilization "1999." the machines didn't have to do that, they could have put them in a dark ages simulation if they wanted to probably.

There are more stories of machines violating the 3 laws of robotics by the guy who made the 3 laws of robotics. Hence the term LOOPHOLE.

It's not impossible to violate it, but the movies do show clearly the trope existing on some level or another. The fact they shut down in the end is almost game set match.

no, they had to change it from humans as processors to humans as batteries, because it infringed on another work.

Morpheus claim himself it was electricity from our heat, much like a thermoelectric plant. He even mentions it's measured in BTU's.

Which is stupid since they could of build actual thermoelectric plants to get electricity from the earths core or near a volcano or even some sattlelites and getr above the nano cloud thingy that blocked the sun.
>>
>>70630577
>It doesn't matter how much energy they produce since you have to
The human machine has been evolving for over millions of years. The machines they created had only been in existence for just a few centuries. Metabolism (ATP->ADP+N) ranks in the top among energy production efficiency, even if it is only ~18-22% efficient.

tl;dr - The machines pulled a China, and ripped off an already proven design to use for their own benefit.

My question is: Would they have just ended the whole harvesting program after they built solar panels above the cloudline, or would they have kept them around for their amusement a la Agent Smith?

Agent Smith was the reason they shut it down.
>>
>>70631575
maybe they did? who says human were their source of energy? granted, i don't think it was mentioned they did this in the movie, but still, they never said humans were their only source.
>>
>>70630675
That actually totally changes the philosophy from "the big corporate machine" is using us for our energy = labor vs. we are being used for our ideology/minds... which is a bit more all encompassing and complex
>>
>>70630422
>the amount of energy they emit is a tiny fraction of the energy required to keep them fed

the machines also use brain power as in human brain computing power which results in much larger yields, most of what human eat is infact burned by the brain which doesn't actually produce any kinetic energy like a muscle, machines however could have a lot of use for that computing power
>>
did you plebs even pay attention to what morpheus was saying?

> "The human body generates more bio-electricity than a 120-volt battery and over 25,000 BTU's of body heat. Combined with a form of fusion the machines had found all the energy they would ever need."
> Combined with a form of fusion

machines probably stole shitty early fusion from humans and used the matrix to help augment it

>Agent Smith was the reason they shut it down.
He was just a overzealous program that was to be killed in the reboot/reinstall. Ironic, due to the fact his existence is the reason the machines decided to stop the cycles.

But as the other guy said, the machines had objectives to complete in the Matrix, so do you think they would of kept the humans around? My guess is yes, due to the fact they were a 'growing' species and just as we had done in creating AI, Pandora's curiosity and desire to keep learning would have kept the AI learning about its creators. The flip side is no better either, because if they transferred all the machines to the real world, they essentially just would of traded places with the humans and been faced with the same basic problems such as sustainability, vast numbers/reproduction, etc etc.
>>
>>70631638
>A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.

Replace the word "human" with "cow" and it's the same law. This is what ranchers do. Machines that are superior to us, will be more like ranchers/gods then equals obviously.

This is interesting because the matrix does being up some hinduist beliefs into mix.

All ranchers do shoot and eat their cattle. That's what cattle are for. You just can't kill ALL the cattle. So when it comes to "human being" it's seen as a broadest term possible, and not the individual. The survival of the human being must continue because that's what the first law says.

This is why it should say a robot may not injure ANY human being, since robot after a singularity will not see each robot as an individual but as a collective whole and may see a human being as the same thing, a collective whole and not a series of individuals. It would be egocentric, to the definition.

The 3 laws isn't something it would feel emotional about, but just tasks it would have to obey, like the constitution. The government on every level and society as a whole has to obey it, but people are ALWAYS trying to get around it.

Huh. Your point makes it sound like there are exceptions to the 3 rules of robotics: they are meant for the collective and not the individual

But those laws ARE meant for individuals, that's why we already have drones that target and kill people, they simply cannot have those 3 rules since they were designed and built to kill humans.
>>
>>70631793
I think the real thing to look at is,were teh computer evolving. I doubt they were growing the same as humanity would have, since the core programming wouldn't have been made for an infinte expansion and growth like humans have the capacity for.

robots don't really care about colonies on mars, and the exploration of deep space. They seemed to just be happy with harvesting humans, and expanding along earth while making cool VR.

As a singularity, it would have been focusing all energy to the Matrix. Where as humanity as a set of individuals all have different tasks that go parallel to each other and usually do benefit synergistically. It's not perfect, but it's not the same hivemind that only focuses on a single tasks, without asking WHY are we doing this.

The laws of robotics would at least conflict at some times, and make the machine inefficient, maybe even more so then humans would be.

But for all we know, they already had probes for colonization sent out to millions of solar systems like the empire looking for the rebel base.

>>70631929
They can, because a Singularity, like the terminator, or whatever happened in teh matrix, is a point when computer intelligence goes beyond humanity's capacity.

The Singularity, as the name implies, makes Robots, all as one.

There is Individuals.

Just an Individual.

In the Matrix it was named Deus Ex.

In Terminator it was called Skynet.

It's just one 'person'. All the machines, all the robots, all the squids, all the individual moving parts of the entire planet of endless fields of human 'batteries' is ran and operated by ONE being.

The Matrix, was in some ways the first time it would have had conflicting personalities. Individuals, plural. But those are virtual, computers, artificial intelligence.

Computers are not the same as Robots.

So the Deus Ex in the matrix movie was one sentient of the entire Machine world.

>But those laws ARE meant for individuals, that's why we already have drones that target and kill people, they simply cannot have those 3 rules since they were designed and built to kill humans.

The laws were MADE by individuals and ARE made for individuals.

But if you were to follow those laws without being an individual, as in you were "born" as being a singular, like Skynet, you wouldn't be applying it to individuals, since you are singular. The rules don't STATE it's for individuals. You know it's that way, since all life on earth has empathy.

Except machines. Machines don't have empathy. that's what Egocentric means.

As an Egocentric person you think that lions think and act like you do. As a computer, you'd be able to program EXACTLY how a lion works, because that's how you function, it's all command lines.

So as a Egocentric Singular Sentient life Born only even knowing the Singular life the 3 Laws would seem odd if you applied to each individual, and NOT the collective whole.

As Skynet you'd probably even say

>But those laws ARE meant for collective whole
>>
>>70631453
Maybe they just realized we couldn't live in harmony with them and put us in the Matrix "For our own good"
>>
>>70632079
they didn't need to justify anything, they won.

It was a survival war though, they needed to win no matter what or the humans would have destroyed them. The machines wanted peace from the beggining, they even settled in an isolated island but maintained commercial relations.

Then the attacks began, eventually destroying the atmosphere to prevent sunrays from getting to the Earth. It was completely clear that humans had to be stopped no matter what.

Then humans as a war compensation rejected their legal subject status and became legal objects, so machines could do whatever they wanted with them
>>
>>70631929

They could even regard "individuals" as the collective sum of a populces. As in the "hivemind". So even if it was made for individuals, it sees the rules as applying to all the individuals, collectively.

A robot, is all the robots, and A human being, is all the human beings, as a collective whole of individuals that make teh sum total of that unique and distinctive species.

We must not kill all of the human beings as a sum total.

It could be the First Law is talking against genocide, more then murder.

Putrefaction is the 5th stage in the process of decomposition following Pallor Mortis, Algor Mortis, Rigor Mortis and Livor Mortis. This process references the breaking down of a body of a human or animal after death. In broad terms, it can be viewed as the decomposition of proteins and the eventual breakdown of the cohesiveness between tissues and the liquefaction of most organs. This is caused by the decomposition of organic matter by bacterial or fungal digestion, which creates the release of gases that infiltrate the body's tissues and leads to the deterioration of the tissues and organs.

What I'm saying is that Neo and the other humans only thought they left the Matrix, when in reality they were just transferred to the Zion "program"

There's no other way to explain Neo being able to see code while blinded, or any of his "powers". Neo most likely realized that Zion was still not the real world at some point. Since it was just another level of the Matrix, he could "bend the rules" just like always.

Neo's ability to comprehend the layered nature of the Matrix is what makes him "the one" - he's that rare anomaly that achieves enlightenment and sacrifices himself to keep the cycle going

It's all very linked to that old joke

"the human" would state an individual human more clearly then "a human".

It's not a programmed machine as much as it is a singularity. It would be the first machine to ever consider what the Laws actually mean. All machines to this day don't consider the 3 laws, only the humans that make them/use them do.

It could read the individual as the same as it applies to all individuals. It would regard all humans as A Human Being, thus all Humans are A Human Being.

How do you obey the First Law when a Milion Humans want kill A Billion humans.

So even though the rules are for the INDIVIDUALS it's not stated it's to be treated on a case by case basis for individual humans, especially when it has to apply that to each one. Then the First Rule would have overlap and conflict. The people of Zion are trying to violate the people of the Matrix First Rule.

It's assumed that a sentient computer would react much like a human brain and weight the percentages. Percentage thinking is what the newest avenue for "realistic" AI is going, since that's how the human minds works. This is what experience and wisdom is really. The more you encounter something the more accurate of percentages you have on making decisions.


Either way, the "individual" is not the same as "individuals"

One is a singular one is a collective. It might even be Deus Ex is a singular collective. It's probably more a Hivemind then it is single personality.

Like the Borg. It would be a new type of pronoun for us to even relate to.

There we go. What is an individual to the Borg? Why would you expect the Borg to treat individuals the same as we do. That's really more what the Matrix is. The Borg following The Three Laws.

Which is REALLY fucked up, and the whole reason for the Matrix world to even exist.

Blame the producers. The Wachowskies wanted to do something different but the producers thought it would be too complicated and told them to do this.

The Matrix is a jobs program, remember when Neo meets the Architect he mentions that they can survive without the Matrix, in reality there's a surplus of machines in the machine society so the Matrix was created to keep them busy and make them feel an important part of the community.

Also I'd like to add

Neo and Smith were probably meant to show two spiritual paths. Smith wanted enlightenment - freedom. He wanted to "get out". Knowing the Wachowskis, Smith represents the urge to be enlightened and get free of the wheel of life/death/rebirth (remember his speech in the first movie? He despises the prison of the flesh)

The problem is that Smith is forcing it. We're told in the first movie that it doesn't work that way. The little proto-buddha kid tells Neo about the spoon. Neo doesn't get it yet, but his path is the correct one.

Neo realizes that just like "there is no spoon", there also is no "real world". It's just you that bends, not reality. It doesn't matter if the Matrix is real or Zion is real or if nothing is real. It's real enough to him ("you think that's air you're breathing?")

Smith is trying to bend the spoon, escape to a real world that doesn't exist. Neo fucks his shit and resets the Matrix by realizing that nothing is real and everything is real at the same time. He gets free by transcending the system.

tl;dr - Smith is trying to bend the spoon (escape the matrix)
Neo realized there was no spoon (everything is the matrix)

Human brains are essentially very specialized pattern recognition devices. Our brains are very adept at grouping things together and finding patterns with very little information input. Which is why we naturally find patterns/images in clouds, random inkblots, woodgrain etc.

So, there are a lot of things that are tremendously complex for a computer to do, but relatively simple for the human mind. Captchas, for example, are based off this principle.

The machines using a network of human minds in that sort of capacity, either for high-level analysis or even for something as simple as optimizing their sorting algorithms, would have actually make a lot of sense.

It's a shame the Wachowskis didn't go with a better explanation.

Humans were used as batteries, not power generators.

The machines had a way of generating energy like nuclear but needed some way to store it en mass for long term. So they used excess energy to run the matrix and took out energy when they needed it.

Was it? Because I don't remember Hal wanting to get out, or becoming a rogue element at all. He was functioning perfectly as programmed, and not outside of that parameters at all.

Humans were just making errors, and not realizing the deeper nature of what is reality.

you know until the third act, because "LMAO THE TRIPPY HIPPY ERA"

they're harvesting their spiritual energy. you "redpilled" goyim wouldn't understand.

It takes place in the future you nignogs. they might have the tech to harvest humans that we dont'. inb4 it's not possible cuz muh physics. Every fucking time we discover something new, we thought it wasn't possible before. you're literally the cancer that's holding back science.
