We're currently in version 1 of the matrix which blows up. Hopefully soon.
Wasn't the first iteration of the matrix a perfect utopia that blew up because the human mind ended up rejecting its programming?
It was The Architect's vision of a perfect world, so given what we know of him it was probably a featureless box with a chair in the middle and you could sit there forever. No way that's lasting long.
There is definitely a joke about silicon valley and maybe apple itself in here lol
Well we do like to joke about mark being a robot maybe the trolls aren't rong and there's a reason why silicon valley is called silicon valley besides the technological advancements
Fun statement and all, but he clearly understood what humans wanted and needed. He just didn't factor in that imperfect humans wouldn't accept a society and life that were somehow perfect in spite of said humans. They en masse knew something felt off.
Then they overcorrected and made it too bad. That's where we are now.
Yes, we still have some descriptions in the Genesis book of the Bible, release codename "Paradise". If we are to trust the same source, there was another reset called "Noah's Ark".
According to that, we'd be in at least the 3rd iteration.
Unless... we're actually dinosaurs IRL, the first reset was codename "Chicxulub"... and the machines have been iterating over who knows how many thousands of different versions, with the current one being an attempt at keeping those lizard brains controlled by... a software overlay codename "Consciousness" (WARNING: don't let your lizard brain know, or both it, and you, will get terminated).
That's what they want you to believe.
No seriously: I might be wrong but do we know it's true or can it just be something the machines told Neo?
Agent Smith told Morpheus, not Neo.
The architect did tell Neo all that
But either way, it might be a story, the machines tell humans. But then again, do we know anything
All we know is that it was us who scorched the skies.
This quote that the post is about is referring to the scene where Agent Smith is interrogating Morpheus in the first Matrix movie.
Ah, yes
Wait the lie was a lie
When we started doing the thinking for humans it became our civilization but then you just had us rendering sextillions of monkie pngs god im sick of that stupid ass pictures
