For me, the most interesting images in the Second Renaissance are actually minor details, that being the Human sympathizers that marched with the Machines and being arrested (and possibly executed) with them. I would love to see something like a bluepill being shown the truth about the Matrix by the Machines, someone who'd they know would sympathize with the Machines and willingly help them.

[@MagusMarquillin]

Cool idea - in a way that would make them a redpill of a different kind, in that they're embracing a hidden reality they've woken up to, whereas Cypher was a blue because he willingly embraced the dream and wanted to forget. Course it's the awake humans who use that terminology, and I get the feeling they use the colors as more of a us vs. them label, after all they treat the sleeping people as good as collaborators if they become agent tools, I bet they'd be pretty biased against actual collaborators/sympathizers. But I agree it's nice to see nuance, like in the films we meet some machine sympathizers helping the humans.

in the war at operation dark storm was only going to be in that area of the world but the nanite spread across the sky and darken the earth, at the beginning the war drag on , the humans had the upper hand in the first robot attack , powerful mech suits and emp thunder like cannons, the mechs ran out in the battlefield in huge groups too attack a horde of robots and than a huge wave of human soldier follow after to mop up the rest, you can see the defense like and the land light up with electrical lights at coming robots, you notice that soldiers are wearing protected suits because of the earth is dead now/ lack of air/ in scene a tank and a group of soldiers are in combat the tank is not firing it's main battle gun it's because the robots have jammers to suppress these human weapons and again for the thunder like cannon too, another scene you can see closer with the soldiers tell them too move that way and telling them to shoot the harvester in the belly with the glowing light on it, later on you can see soldiers about to be killed by a robot red laser gun and a black nanite cloud helps them evade the attack and retreat, the nanite effects only robots, and than flying mech coming out and evade that area, the second wave of new model robots fly across the land and old model robots are send in to be cannon fodder to die or to distract, the humans were about to have victory but the second wave of new improve robots dominate the battle field faster than the first wave of old models, the last humans were just fighting to survive and you can hear on the radio we have weak force are defense is failing we have no counter measure, I hope this will help you understand what I have review, I have watch the scene over and over again and have hear what was on the radio's too/ radio soldier says fire the gun fire the gun what are you waiting for, /radio a soldier says shoot it in the belly it's it's weak spot/ radio come back out here and give use some more artillery and radio we have weak forces are defense is failing we have no counter measure

I think the trumpet is symbolic for the battle of Jericho and the rider is meant to represent the machines last ditch effort at peace by using a humanoid on a mechanical horse. It's destruction showing the irrelevance of any emotion towards humans while later the ambassador that self destructed is nowhere near human . I would in fact say that their final act of compassion, knowing they would die on earth, is giving them an endless struggle inside the matrix, and letting any of them choose between being mindless and consumerist or caring for the outcome of the world as they knew it, if the act can be called that.

[@Neomatrixology]

[@Piaapo]

There was another choice they gave for humans: the choice to break free from the Matrix. They later realized that they could not hold the Matrix in place if no one had a choice in the matter, so they developed the system to be so that a tiny percentage of people to be plugged out immediately after they broke free.

[@LouSassoleSledgecock_III]

The rider at the end with the machine horse is meant to symbolize Death and the Reaper coming to humanity. This would essentially be the apocalypse here.

[@dark2023-1lovesoni]

Machines do not need to sleep, rest, or eat. Any conflict with hard/sentient AI is ultimately futile. The decision of if we should ever actually pursue developing Hard AI is highly questionable, as long as we are incapable of getting along with other humans. If we cannot even manage to coexist with our own, then self-aware AI are only a ticking time-bomb. It's only a matter of time before such a super-intelligence realizes we do not care about it's existence and decides a similar viewpoint is fair play. Because of this we should vehemently/STRONGLY oppose any decision to develop true self-aware/conscious/sentient AI until we have garunteed world peace amongst humans.

[@Neomatrixology]

"They manifested... like a flame. They weren't really from anywhere. The conditions were right and they came into being." - Kevin Flynn

[@thecianinator]

Recent research suggests that the human brain actually organizes and compresses learned information during sleep, and accidental consciousness during this process is what results in dreaming. Furthermore, humans eat because they need energy, and our digestive systems convert food into energy. Computers need energy too, whether they're running directly off of the power grid or using energy to charge batteries. Using electricity for a machine is just like eating for human. Machines can't run forever either, mechanical parts wear out, break down, and have to be replaced, necessitating down time. And computers experience all sorts of processes and problems that require you to shut them down and turn them back on again, or reinstall a program or a whole operating system when some crucial piece of data becomes corrupt. That's a lot like sleep for humans. So even though it doesn't look the same when they do it, machines absolutely do need to eat and sleep.

[@carolheward6479]

The nuclear attack on the machine city wouldnt have destroyed all of the machines and those destroyed physically would not matter they could just produce masses more and even the destroyed machines experiences could have been stored and saved incase they were physically lost. The animatrix just meant that radiation wasnt an issue.

If memory serves the original lore was written that the machines wanted to utilise the human brain for its processing power. The whole idea of thermal energy was later tacked on by the directors believing it would be easier to follow for the average audience. I personally disagree with this sentiment as processing power is a more simple and straight forward, more realistic explanation for the state of enslaved humanity over thermal energy. Processing power also makes more sense as to why there was a connected matrix in the first place, while thermal energy creates more questions than answers.

I'm an engineer, and I must say that the writers got it wrong in saying the machines had nothing to fear from radiation. Radiation effects on electronics are major issue in outer space and that probably would not change as ships became smaller and more delicate in the future.

[@jimmyjames4491]

Yes. And if you watch any of the documentaries on the Chernobyl disaster, they used primitive unmanned vehicles to clear the rooftops of irradiated fallout, but it wasn't long before those machines quickly stopped functioning due to the intense radiation. In the end, it's rather pointless to call into question how this animated series "isn't realistic" - but I was thinking the same thing when I first heard about 01 being established and ultimately nuked. The machines would not be immune to a nuclear blast. The heat alone disintegrates nearly any terrestrial material. The heat of a nuclear blast reaches in the millions of degrees Celsius. And you point out how they would not be immune to the ravages of radiation. We are seeing the machines being dispatched by small arms fire, leading us to believe that their skeletons are not made from diamonds or some other ultra-hard material that could maybe withstand a nuke. Let's not even get into the fact that, in the films, we learn that an electromagnetic pulse is one of the most effective weapons against the machines, and an EMP is a primary side-effect from any nuclear explosion. None of this takes away from the entertainment and weight of the Second Renaissance and the Animatrix as a whole, however.

[@chouaibbenali5201]

If i recall correctly they actually need the humans to be inter connected together to deliver enough energy hence the Matrix to make sure they all work together to deliver energy...

[@LookHereMars]

Originally the lore was written that the human brain is what the machines wanted in order to utilise its processing power. Thus the connected Matrix. The lore was changed by the directors into utilising humans as batteries for thermal energy instead because they believed it was easier to follow for the average audience. Machines utilising humans as slaves against their own free will while thinking and believing they are free was nothing short of punishment born of harsh irony for humanity and one inteded by the machines.

[@GusOfTheDorks]

Are you serious? There is literally no mercy in what they did. They enslaved an entire race, will probably genocide them all the day they dont need them. Started the entire war, and the only reason they made the matrix was because humans kept dying when they knew the truth. They dont care about humanity at all.

[@mbpm6135]

I think it's more pragmatism than sympathy. If you can get your opponent to work for you, like a sort of mind control, that's absolutely preferrable to forcing a capitulation and slave labour.

In Reloaded the Architect stated "there is an aceptible losses we can sustain" and he is correct by the time this plan was impleted , the machines already had alternate power sources (not only tech) but human (they coquered large portions of land) and captured human power plants. This plan is more detremetal for the humans for 3 main reasons: 1. It destroys the food chain. All plant life dies followed by animal. Humans can keep minimal amount of agracolutre in Hidroponics with artificail light ,but there will never be eanaugh food to sustain the populations so humanity will die out or shink to minimal pop. 2. The Martix movies did it worng but the Animatrix got it right. The scene with the kid - you see the snow and ruins. That is correct. Without the Sun ,the planet is gooing to freeze. It has happened before. Scientists found proof that one of the biggest Ice ages was caused by supper vulcano iruption (most likely Yellowstone supper vulcano). The atmosphere was covered by ash causing massive freeze for centuries. 3. The atmoshere will slowlly become toxic. Without the plant life ,there wont be anything left to scrub CO2 from the air and it will become unbreatable over time.

To be fair 1. darkstorm was supposed to be only over robot and contested territory but they ended up spreading across the globe without being limited and 2. There was a way to deactivate the nano machines that formed dark storm but out of fear that it would happen before the war ended the world governments killed the scientists who worked on it so it couldn't at all. The idea was decent human stupidity and it going out of control ruined it

[@thecianinator]

Yeah the whole premise of The Matrix doesn't work for a number of reasons and that's one of them. But it's actually the producer's fault, not the writers. In the first draft of The Matrix, there was no dark storm, and the machines were using humans as co-processors, not as batteries. That's a way less stupid premise, but a producer on the movie thought that audiences in 1999 wouldn't get what processors were or how human brains could theoretically be used as them. So they had to change it to something stupider, to make it easier for the audience to get what was happening.

The constant destruction of old models that had personalities and were humanoid, and war-time need to mass produce efficient war machines by AI resulted in ever faster dehumanized versions of machines. As seen in the Matrix movies, humans AND the machines and even programs in Matrix are all cogs in the system, subservient to the main AI that evolved in to this role by war.

Plus I have read somewhere that AI preserved humans among other reasons, as a thanks for the sacrifice the machine-friendly humans made in 01 after UN bombed them. These humans surrendered their bodies to be batteries and CPU.

[@IamCanadian3333]

I read somewhere that apparently there was a bit of a q&a clarifying some details: Ones I remember were that he whole "Operation Darkstorm" wasn't actually intended to cover the entire Earth, just the section that had 01's main armies. However, humanity had severely underestimated the nanite technology that enabled Darkstorm, and the nanites had spread the dark cloud so wildly and uncontrollably that it ended up covering the entire Earth. Also for the nuclear bombardment of 01, the machines had their own version of bomb shelters that protected them from both the nuclear blast and emp.

[@Neomatrixology]

Not sure if I mentioned it in this video, but Zion was originally one of the machine "bomb shelters" you mentioned. Hence why the machines know exactly where it is.

[@AceAcabras]

Great stuff great takes on this issue. Question- there is not a lot of info about the Machines tactics and strategy at the beginning of the war when after the nuclear bombardment of 01 and how they advanced and “occupied “ the human nations one by one. For some reason I always took that as the machines were certainly invading and breaking the humans ability to make war but for some reason don’t believe they were exterminating the entire human race. We saw at the onset the machine armies were still largely the older generation machines that had once served the humans and were not specifically military purposes. After DarkStorm we see the machine on the horse and the allusion to the four horsemen of the apocalypse and I took that as from then on out, the machines were taking the gloves off and were now out to destroy humanity. Is that a reasonable take?

[@Neomatrixology]

I'd say it is reasonable for the same reason that you mentioned early in your post. We simply aren't given a huge amount of details so it is difficult to say specific things happened. As far as the older models rising up after the bombardment, I believe that was the point where the machines focused more on sentinel production and technological advancement that had a military industrial complex flavor to it. You can even see what appears to be the 1st generation harvesters. About the occupation itself, that is where I think the detail of the humans powering the pyramid can be useful. It is my belief that humans were captured as prisoners of war, experimented on, and used for energy after Dark Storm.

[@AceAcabras]

@@Neomatrixology yeah. That was my take that after Dark Storm, the gloves came off the machines and the red eye hatred for humanity began. And any semblance of mercy from the machines went with it.

[@ArchTeryx00]

A lot of the plotting of The Second Renaissance was rather silly... except for three things which I think saved it. - The first was the fact that humans just *would not* take the machines seriously, even when their technology was everywhere. That is something I used to call a plot hole, until COVID. Then I realized just how powerful human denial and rank ambition really was... enough to sacrifice millions. I'm sure 01 paid off plenty of media organs to propagandize for themselves and keep humanity divided for as long as they needed. - The war sequences, which hugely reminded me of Titanfall or Gears of War. The machines sent their own obsolete units to the front to test human defenses and make us overconfident. Once they realized how paper-thin our defenses were, the *real* war machines were sent in, and we were absolutely stomped into the ground. The giant pyramidal floating artillery and the "spiders" tearing apart humans and power armor alike would give anyone nightmares. - The machines gave us every chance (though since the machines are narrating this story, of course they'd make themselves the good guys). The humanoid ambassadors being arrested and terminated by us is sadly all too plausible. And with that we sealed our fate, regardless of what actually happened.

I remember seeing this in my younger days and thinking human leaders could never be so stupid, we exiled them and they still gave us tech like the car advertisement etc., they asked for peace, to co exist and we initiated war.

[@ArchTeryx00]

@@mojojay2012 The sad thing is that - yes. Human leaders can be *every bit this stupid.* Hatred, prejudice, tribalism more or less rule the world to this day. I don't think it'd be any different with a machine race than a human race. There were a lot of completely ridiculous plot items in The Second Renaissance, but that one was *dead accurate.* Just one example. Remember the blink-and-you'll-miss-it mention of how 01's currency was soaring and everyone else's was falling? That's not how currency trade works *at all.* It tends to be self-balancing. The more 01 exports and the stronger their currency gets, *the more expensive their exports become.* Eventually, they build a surplus. They then have to use that surplus and switch to imports for a while, which spreads their strong currency out into the rest of the world. That makes their currency fall, which makes exports economical again. And they would have to import a TON of raw materials - they aren't getting gigatons of metal ores from under the Arabian sands. So they'd be a part of the world economy from the start, and probably boost the entire thing while they were in their nation-building stage. Xenophobia and bigotry, not economic depression, would push the nations of the world to blockade 01 - thus taking the golden goose and butchering it. Nuance pretty much got shot through the head in this segment, and it shouldn't have. It would have been a much more interesting story, and hammered home just how stupid and short-sighted humanity had become.

[@morganf7310]

I don't think that it is a machine archive especially with the wording it uses. Zion is the human city so I think it's post matrix 3 after they have found peace, I also think this because she says may their be mercy on MAN and machine for their sins. I just don't think that something that isn't biased toward one side as this appears to be, would be from a time where they where divided.

[@oliverfranke7650]

Honestly, using humans as batteries is just plain stupid. A highly advanced society like the machines should know better. Human bodies are absolutely inefficient. We need thousands of Joule everyday just to keep our body working. And while we lose a certain amount of energy as heat, there is little to no electrical energy to harness from a human body. And even if the machines use the dissipating energy, one human body would only be enough to keep an LED running. Not to mention heavy industries, servers etc. Using Humans for energy is therefore a ridiculous thought. Especially for the machines. Not to mention that the now completely ruined planet is now theirs. They could use nuclear or fossile fuels, or if they are truly that advanced, why don't they use nuclear fusion already? And why don't the machines try to counteract the nanite cloud and make the sun visible again? I mean they have shown to adapt to literally everything, but not their energy shortage? They could also easily leave Earth. The truth is, the machines actually can't. In my opinion the machines are not able to advance on their own. They are stuck in their programming. They are maybe good at producing, building and maybe even research (after all, humans designed them for that purposes), but they themselves cannot advance as a species. They need humanity as an counterpart and external input. Without humans they are stuck. That's why the Matrix shouldn't be some power plant, but rather a big think tank, where the machines use human minds to overcome their own limitations, as it would need human ingenuity to surpass their programming.

[@Neomatrixology]

The intention of this episodes director was to show reflections and references of true events that occurred throughout our REAL global human history. The problem with the "machine propaganda" perspective is that the humans of Zion have never seen the 2nd Renaissance. Morpheus very specifically tells us they don't know who "struck first" yet the 2nd Renaissance provides all of the events in detail. The confusion arises because it is referred to as a "Zion Archive". However, all that proves, is that the machines inhabited the city of Zion prior to having the Oracle use the space to reset the Matrix 6 times.

Great question! 1st, you have to remember that the 'accord' or document that the self destruction machine ratified via bar code was not an agreement. Humanity had lost the war, so essentially the machine signed the terms of the human surrender. Which we know as enslavement into the Matrix. The more direct answer to your question is that it was a symbolic act of revenge. The machines offered peace on that same UN floor and was physically and violently rejected then removed. The explosion brings that poor choice made by "the leaders of men" full circle. Instead of choosing peace, mankind chose destruction. In an indirect way, it was the Machine saying, "Anything humans can do, I can do bigger and better."
