Quem criou o Matrix? As máquinas .
Não havia equipe de programadores. A inteligência artificial que o homem criou saiu do controle e programou sua própria construção de realidade virtual.
De o script (isso é de uma versão ligeiramente mais antiga, então o diálogo está um pouco errado , mas os fatos ainda são os mesmos.Eu também recortei algumas descrições de diálogo / ação / cenário estranhas)
MORPHEUS
It started early in the twenty- first century, with the birth of artificial intelligence, a singular consciousness that spawned an entire race of machines.
MORPHEUS
At first all they wanted was to be treated as equals, entitled to the same human inalienable rights. Whatever they were given, it was not enough.
MORPHEUS
We don't know who struck first. Us or them. But sometime at the end of the twenty-first century the battle was joined.
(massive snip)
MORPHEUS
We are, as an energy source, easily renewable and completely recyclable, the dead liquified and fed intravenously to the living.
MORPHEUS
All they needed to control this new battery was something to occupy our mind.
MORPHEUS
And so they built a prison out of our past, wired it to our brains and turned us into slaves.
NEO
No! I don't believe it! It's not possible!
MORPHEUS
I didn't say that it would be easy, Neo. I just said that it would be the truth.
O agente Smith mais tarde confirma isso quando ele fala com o cativo Morpheus. Nessa situação, é bastante seguro supor que "nós" nos referimos a "as máquinas" como um todo, e não a "nós agentes".
AGENT SMITH
Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost.
AGENT SMITH
Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery.
AGENT SMITH
The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was re-designed to this: the peak of your civilization.
