Yeah, this is the thing that didn't make the Matrix chars realistic to me - I would innately try to crash the system. Not abandon it, just crash it, wait for reboot, you know, find the limits, really make peoples brainholes in those comfy pods work for it.
Sure, ofc I would spawn a trillion wheels of cheese over a city.
Naturally I would grow my ass that big it would dwarf any super-massive black hole (and in the process make sure Uranus gets into myanus).
Absolutely I would kill all other processes to see just how good it can run Doom.
You think I wouldn't install the most cursed and most blessed of mods?
I like that one of my first thoughts was I wonder if they’ve correctly implemented special relativity. Let’s find out!
IIRC, they tackle that in one of the Animatrix episodes. Some kids find a forgotten corner of the simulation where gravity breaks down and stuff gets weird.
I mean, it's the hardest & most big-assed thing I can think of (beyond just running a buggy code with a memory leak).
I was also about to write about zooming infinitely into a particle but it didn't seem funny enough.
In the original version of the script, the point wasn't to use humans as batteries, it was to use them as processors. The Matrix runs on human brains, and all the leftover brainpower is used on real world problems the machines were dealing with. They turned humans into the computers.
So, trying to overload the processing limits of the Matrix would just kill people. They'd drop dead from the mental strain. Best case scenario, you give everyone in the Matrix a hangover before the automatic safeties kick in.
Ohh, they weren't CPUs? (like in >!Hyperion cantos!< by Dan Simmons)
I prob just assumed it/headcanoned it bcs just the batteries is ofc stupid.
(Crashing your "computer" doesn't usually fry your CPU, just crashes the software, nor does 100% CPU load necessarily crash your PC, just keep the CPU cool and within safe amperage/voltage specs)
Yes! But they have spares, and hot & cold redundancies. Just wait for the reboot, the robots do all the admin work (wait, the Matrix robots are not furries? Another stupid script inconsistency/decision!)
And now try with a bit less cheese/a smaller ass.
You gotta find a spot that those brainholes can still process in real time - it's not just the point to see at what size your butt crashes the system, but also to see what's the max butt size you it can still successfully process twerking - the true cosmic clappening.
Imagine billions of people thinking at 100% capacity about every detail of your butt.
Yeah, but brains aren't computers. If you deprive a human of sleep for long enough, they die. If you play loud music at all hours of the day, they get stressed out and become mentally and physically ill. Forcing a human to process too much auditory stimuli is the organic equivalent of overclocking a CPU. And for organics it's bad and dangerous. https://www.medicaldaily.com/torture-methods-sound-how-pure-noise-can-be-used-break-you-psychologically-318638
At that point you have become the oppressor class.
But what happens when they need to process all that ass?
Hi, It's Josh from Let's Game It Out. We're entering The Matrix today....
That's why you weren't the One.
