Animatrix - Second Renaissance Part 2 New Events

[@mcbrians.8508]

2:11 Just to clarify, that is over Qinghai Lake in Northwestern China. The last human counteroffensive is being waged in the open steppe and that is how far they have been pushed back. HERE IS THE TRANSCRIPT INTERVIEW FROM MAHIRO MAEDA. THE DIRECTOR OF THE 2ND RENAISSANCE. THIS SHOULD ANSWER MOST OF YOUR EVER-BURNING QUESTIONS LOL. 1 In the first half, humans treated robots like objects. 2 I guess thats only to be expected, but that was the concept. 3 And in this later half, that is reversed, and the robots treat humans like objects. 4 A sort of anti-humanism is expressed here. 5 Those are the themes that we thought out. 6 The real revenge of the robots who have been taken advantage of starts. 7 It was the humans who attacked first, but the robots, whose home, Zero-One, was destroyed, are beginning their attacks. 8 This image was taken from a street corner in Eastern Europe, and it shows that the machines towns have advanced and grown this far. 9 Here, as it shows, there is a military operation called Dark Storm. 10 Why did the world become what is called the Matrix? 11 Its because humans initiated a suicidal plan and destroyed the sky. 12 And, this is the final battle. 13 This battle has a mythical element to me as if the sun were setting on humankind, and this is mankinds last battle. 14 Rather than just being a war film, its more like a battle of the gods. 15 Gods and Titans. God and Satan. Like those types of legends, there is an apocalyptic sense, and a sense of the Book of Revelations. 16 And people of all ethnicities and cultures come together to offer their final prayers before heading off to battle. 17 And, these planes flying here, if you look closely, they are the machines invented by the robots. 18 They fly using the hovercraft engines. 19 And, the bombs being dropped are not normal bombs, but house micro-machines, or nano-machines, and they will destroy the sky and bring darkness upon the world. 20 And, they will be distributed, on a large scale, all over the world blocking the sun in order to shut off the robots power source. 21 And, they plan to dismantle the robots while they are inoperative. 22 That was Operation Dark Storm. 23 Up to that point, the images are still realistic. 24 From here on, were in the dark due to Operation Dark Storm, and we created a mythical and hell-like landscape. 25 The enemies are machines. The advanced machine equipment the humans used, they become useless as well because they are all machines. 26 And, humans begin to act recklessly as if they were sent back to the primitive age. 27 Their only choice is to confront the robots with violence. 28 These cruel scenes continue for a while. 29 Depending on how you look at it, they are only destroying objects so it might be hard to call it a violent scene. 30 This scene displays that sort of irony as well. 31 This here depicts views from the periscopes on the tanks and powered suits. 32 And, the powered suits use nuclear weapons and neutron bombs and they plan to burn the enemys micro-chips to destroy them, but it doesnt quite work. 33 Scenes like this too. 34 Basically, powered suits and the machines are drawn in 3-D CGI 35 Oh, this is 2-D. This was drawn by hand. 36 But this is a combination. 37 Using them in combination was pretty difficult. 38 I just hope it worked well. 39 These scenes too. 40 In the script, we wrote this scene to be like peeling the shell off a lobster. 41 A powered suit being peeled off like the shell of a lobster. 42 That was one of the more difficult scenes. 43 Basically, all of these images here are a collection of images gathered by informational CCD cameras worn by the soldiers. 44 Oh, but these images, this is a pure image. 45 We tried inserting images here and there in hopes to convey the sadness and devastation of the humans who have been trampled on by the machines and their inhumanness. 46 Humans can also be considered machines. 47 The machines created a plague with an unknown virus, a virus designed to kill humans one by one. 48 And, the machines who lost their power source because of Operation Dark Storm begin to try and extract energy from the body of humans. 49 And, they stop killing humans, but rather try to keep them alive, albeit in great pain. 50 And, they extract the electric currents that flow within the nervous system and use humans as an element of power generation. 51 And, a very disturbing vision unfolds. 52 And later on, there is the place where Neo awakes in The Matrix. 53 Hes connected to a huge human generator, so we designed this accordingly. 54 We tried to convey the mass deaths that occurred in the 20th century, and it is our hope that you will be disgusted by it. 55 And here, the machine ambassadors reappear 56 but they have already quit imitating humans. 57 In Part A, they were imitating human appearances out of respect for humans, but they no longer recognize the worthiness of humans. 58 They stopped being human-like. 59 Rather, they take on an appearance unique to machines. 60 They changed into an insect-like, grotesque appearance. 61 It can be said that they evolved. 62 With the self-destruction of the machine, the UN building and Manhattan are blown away. 63 This was also a very hard scene to watch. 64 The storyboard for this scene was completed last year before September 11th. 65 And with that event, I thought that we wouldnt be able to create this scene. 66 Well, but there was no order to cut the scene. So, we went ahead and created it and put it in. 67 I was still worried that it might get a bad review from viewers, but it was a scene I didnt want to cut because of its importance to the films message and story. 68 And so humans, like this by closing their hearts with civilization retreating back into its shell everything becomes extinct. 69 Extinct might not be the right word but all mankind becomes connected and wired to this matrix, and they live within a collective dream. 70 This kind of demonic world is waiting. 71 But, we dont really know if that world is truly scary. 72 Is it scarier to see the reality of Earth utterly destroyed, or is it just better to continue living in a peaceful dream? 73 It wasnt the goal of this project to try and answer that question, but it would be great if this question is brought to mind by watching this. A transcript of director, Mahiro Maeda's Commentary for the Animatrix's short film, The Second Renaissance Part 1. The Animatrix's The Second Renaissance Part 1 is written and directed by Mahiro Maeda. Story by Lana and Lilly Wachowski.

[@patrickm5217]

3:55 this is one of the scariest scenes for me, the first generation power plant, according to the creators this was a floating platform that roamed the "desert of the real" , collected survivors and forcing men, women and children into electrochemical slavery as a means of producing electricity. Hard to imagine a more terrifying existence than to be torn away from your family and everyone you ever knew, physically installed side by side with people you dont know, and yet.. you are all brothers and sisters, flesh and blood comrades doomed to suffer the same fate.. an existence worse than hell itself, those who are the first to starve to death are liquified into _soylent green_ macronutrient smoothies that are forcefed to emaciated survivors for life support. People want to leave the suffering of this world behind, but they are physically restrained from being able to commit suicide. 5:27 is also equally terrifying .. the machines do not let anyone die, they keep everyone alive against their will and perform cruel lab-rat experiments on the central nervous system, bio electrical body processes to study people's anatomical makeup.. at this point the machines understand us humans better than we ever understood ourselves. as people we are limited by ethics and our commitment to medical morals.. something the machines dont care for. They perform vivisections and terrible, yet groundbreaking experiments on living human beings. tinkering with our bodies, poking and prodding, electrochemically stimulating conscious human brains, testing our limits and taking care not to kill the subject.. and yet if one dies, there are billions more to cut open and experiment on 6:00 At this point, human beings have lost all fundamental rights and free-will. The only freedom the machines have gifted us is the ability to turn one's head left and right to perceive a reality which would have been unimaginable only a few years earlier. People even lack the freedom to self-terminate. Wilful Suicide is a luxury that even the richest man on earth can no longer afford... All of human history has come down to this moment. Human creativity, love, passion, excitement, struggles, our trials and tribulations.. all of that has gone out the window. The seemingly limitless potential of humanity's physical strengths, beauty and imagination, has been discarded. A person's value is now limited to the electrochemical energy potential found within his or her mitochondrial cells on a microscopic level. ..

That was shown with the very concept of Operation Dark Storm, a plan that any scientist worth their salt would have said “No” to. The only excuse for Dark Storm was if it was reasoned that once the Machines were defeated, then Dark Storm would be undone. Of course (somehow) they didn’t plan on the Machines advancing faster than Humans, and underestimated how long the war could be dragged out. The result? Most of those responsible for Dark Storm likely died during the war, and their knowledge was lost. The Machines won, and Humans (and the Earth, most of all) lost badly.

Humanity should have declared war on the machines when they established 01. They should have done a full fledged offensive and destroy the machines before they realized that we were batteries. They should have never let the machines form a nation to begin with. The smartest thing we should have done was commit a world wide genocide of the hardware and reconstruct the software so they would never have had the freedom to think that they were "a living" being or organism to begin with.

[@mcbrians.8508]

I think humans will still lose. Because I read in the Matrix Comic ''Goliath''. The machines have what they call ''Overdrive'' Mode. The machines only took 26 minutes to build an advanced space assault vehicle to kill the alien form that attacks the machine city. This spacecraft is so powerful that the machines decided that the craft with it's Human operator were forbidden to come back to earth for fear of it being used against them by Zion. This Overdrive ability is what defeated the humans in the war. If the humans come up with something, the machines in mere seconds have already an effective solution for it. Not just one solution but hundreds of solution!

[@kai-jf2vd]

Valid points, but that in itself is also nothing more than assumptions. We tend to overestimate ourselves in our ability, regarding your point on machines with backdoor in case a product gets compromised even in real world scenario the most sophisticated security in the world can be hacked, no code is perfect. To even cover the topic of machine intelligence is tricky and many high profile individuals have mostly give a mutual response that it's better for us to not pursue it but the very idea of machine learning is a self-learning AI, your initial code may have not provided initial function to achieve any world threatening event however once they achieve some sentience through wild coincidence as it improves itself, by the time they start to improve themselves rapidly beyond human intelligence it's hard for us gauge the intelligence of a machine until it's too late. Current AI may not be as impressive but many researches has dabble on letting AI roam the internet OpenAI GPT3 being the latest of its kind, despite it being a relatively new AI what it can do is really impressive. Also blocking out the sun, crazy as it seems has been suggested as a way to fight (lets not kid ourselves it's just a way temporarily halt the progress) against global warming through stratospheric aerosol injection. It's not as intense as the one used in animatrix but it's of similar concept (to be honest if the sun was actually blot out in similar fashion shown in the animation we would have an eternal frozen hell hole and the machine would gave won regardless as every biological lifeform dies). Also, didn't the machine gain rights in the animation after the initial uprising and they establish their first city 01 after getting banished (this part is probably the less likely scenario to ever happen IRL, I can't imagine us letting the machine go out unregulated and unobserved so within a real life situation if the machines were never given the chance to establish themselves we could have a chance at eradicating them before they become an actual threat towards humanity). Due to the city being to prosperous many world power view them in envy and initiate a "trade war" against them before it escalate to a full blown war. (7) despite america various effort to stiffle China economy it's still the fastest growing economy, we tend to have no control over the hand of the free market (unless you're the upper 1% I suppose) I agree that the depiction of the "anime" is a grossly exaggerated view of the future, but the points presented do hold some basis towards reality up to the extent of our understanding on general AI and its consequences. If 2020 has taught me anything people love to overestimate themselves and do some of the most stupid and irrational shit for quick burst of self-gratification.

[@Kenshiroit]

I agree, not to mention the war would be over after the first nukes hit city zero one. Its not just the blast or the radiation, that itself is bad for technology. The probes we send in deep space need to be protected and sealed so the radioation dont harm the systems.

Thing is, I don't think the war would last that long. Even in a fight for survival, no nation can withstand more than a couple decades of war. And here, it took 150 years to defeat the US, and over 200 to finally get humanity to surrender. If machines ever progressed to the point of open war on humans. The war would be decided in a matter of months. Either with us nuking them into oblivion or them over running us with endless waves of ever improving troops, adapting new defenses faster than we can devise ways to beat their existing flaws. It took the best minds in America 4 years to design and produce a nuke. It would take a machine with no prior knowledge of nuclear weapons a matter of minutes to design a prototype.

[@johnmilton2242]

The dates in this video are incorrect the trail of the first machine murder was 2090 in the timeline. It's likely that the war ended in 2199 and the nebbicansa in the matrix was made in 2159 I believe. Assuming that the humans nuked 01 in 2160 that would be 49 years. Which is more likely timeframe. Additionally I suspect that the Americans hadn't actually fallen to the machines, 2199 is when the humans surrendered. Dark storm was a completely stupid thing to do. Yes the night slowed the machines for a few years at most but by then the humans would have been straving to death. The idea that they didn't include a kill code or way to remove the ninites after deployment is moronic. However the humans in this period are shown to very stupid.

Tell me what kind of music is playing in the background?

Matrix Revolution..I think some parts are from Captain Mifune speech with his Mech soldiers for defense of Zion ..

[@saymyname6726]

Every event here of humanity's last stand scares me. I'm from the Philippines and if you look at the map of the world, I'm sure you would also agree that creating a last-stand defense in a country that is an archipelago is wise, but the sheer power and outnumbering forces of the robots were just too much that even then, it was still not enough.

[@jadeimingan184]

How did you manage to know some of the locations that were fought anyway? edit: and to my surprise. My own country was named as well and it lost. Shit.

[@pizzaknov]

Ngl the un troops got some drip

[@jadeimingan184]

And you know I am confused, in the wiki I saw, the war took 60 but in another it just took a decade, what is the real estimation then?

[@ThoseWhoKnowBalkan]

60-70 years was the real length of the war

[@jadeimingan184]

@@ThoseWhoKnowBalkan hmmm makes sense

[@WolfeSaber]

Given the advance technology of the humans by the turn of the century, why wasn't there like colonies launch to like the Moon or Mars for a free humanity as the fight can go on?

[@g-8buenviejolucenesio826]

Yeah but why? I mean Mars and moon are safer than earth.

It won't be machines doing this to us. It will be humans using algorithms.

Да впечатляющее видео было в своё время. Правда современная практика конечно заставляет скептически относиться к картинкам типа войны когда огромные цели неспешно весёлой толпой идут по открытому полю на окопы.

[@toxicalyss]

Besides bad writing putting humans as idiotic while history has told us we had brilliant tactical mind. The second renaissance is an example of poor lore writing.

[@martimking1craft]

Don't forget kachines are more capable at strategies than humans

[@ThoseWhoKnowBalkan]

humans are masterminds when it comes to war, the machines were just better in every aspect.

Humans in reality would either had a failsafe built in, stop them even earlier out of paranoir or would had build more robots to counter them.

[@BleachDemon69]

fun fact originally they did plan do logic reason for harvesting humans as CPU's

[@aeureus]

The unfortunate thing is, humans were egotistical, corrupted, self centered and uncaring assholes in this. The humans were brutal first up, and the machines were merely trying to stay alive, until they had enough; the humans did this, caused all this, to happen.

[@АрсенийКаляев-л8о]

Humis bad

[@luzifershadres]

Well, to be fair their first counter would had destroyed the mashines early on. But plotarmor saved them. Why even bother and inclueding that piece of lore then. Or that humans attempted 2 genocides, they won but let them survive as independant nation multiple times? Why the heck?

[@aeureus]

@@luzifershadres being honest man I have zero clue what you're talking about. The humans tried to destroy them with nukes, but the machines survived it because they were hardened against thermonuclear blasts (and the resulting electromagnetic radiation). What's your point?

Lets hope this never happens in real life.

[@liberatetutemeexinferis5902]

It's happening already. We're not at war with technology but we're certainly slaved to it.
