Oh my goodness I've just learned a thing about The Matrix that causes it to make a lot more sense: In the original script the humans were used as neural network compute clusters by the Machines and as a crucial component of The Matrix itself.

Which is why humans who were aware of the simulation could control aspects of The Matrix - their minds were part of its foundation.

Unfortunately the test audiences had trouble understanding this concept so the studio changed the human role to "batteries".

every morning I wake up and read a series of articles about all the massive data breaches from the previous 24 hours.

once I'm done reading those I move on to the articles about the latest government efforts to legislate mandatory backdoors in encryption.

SO good -- the best follow the money reporting on who's behind the global attack on digital privacy yet.

TLDR: it's law enforcement x AI companies posing as NGOs w a commercial interest in selling scammy mass scanning tech. Deeply cynical, deeply shady.

It's not fair to spend years of your life making something just to get fucked by greedy corporate assholes who don't give a shit about indie games.

If you're starting a new project you should think very carefully about any closed source or proprietary software you use because all of them can pull stuff like Unity is doing at any time.
