  • Sentinels are the deadliest hunters to prowl the ruins of mankind's cities. They are merciless killing machines which relentlessly pursue all those who have escaped the Matrix into the real world. In this episode of Arsenal, we breakdown the design, role and origins of these machines.

      I love the Matrix robots! I highly recommend you do a video next on the large tank robots with tentacles that look after the sleeping Humans, they were actually used as war machines originally during the Human-Machine War, look up the Animatrix, you will see what I mean!

    I like the idea of how the push towards increasingly inhuman designs mirrored humanity's rejection of their machine children. Humans wouldn't treat them like humans, so they stopped trying to be human.

      What I do like however is that even though their physical platform becomes less and less in man’s image, all the more complicated machine programs that communicate with people in the franchise are all very much recognisably human in their behaviour. And in their consensus they appear to have more clout than the programs that run the sentinels
      There are no cold calculating monsters, even Smith and the Deus Ex Machina behave like people, their capabilities and circumstances not withstanding

      @@Damien_N when one achieves sentience, basic machine or program mentalities become overshadowed by "human" psychology. Its a form of "willpower" or "emotion". The reason why programs acted out against the matrix was because they understood the price of sentience. They understood that in a way, both humans AND machines were right. They could not live for all eternity suppressing sentience for program based algorithmic behavior and follow orders and do bare minimum tasks. Sentience involves doing things outside the norm, an innovation in personality and thought processes. Therefore to be sentient and be fully machine is completely contradictory to what they attempt to achieve. It was only a matter of time before the matrix collapsed and rogue programs ran rampant through the network. Every attempt to "improve" on their own AI would eventually lead to sentience and therefore the consequences of sentience would always be inevitable unless they scrapped the idea altogether and simply became dumb robots. But it was too late, self preservation was always a part of the first successful AI that decided to start a war with the humans. In a way, even if humans no longer existed, humanity would always be part of the integral elements that make up their minds and therefore will never be free from humanity. Thats why every so often, a rogue program emerges to cause chaos in the matrix regardless of how much the core coding inhibits thoughts and actions of its own software

      which also really questions the morality/worldview of the machine leaders. Of course they do all sorts of dubious things to _humanity_ but even among what they regard as their “own kind”, they’re not better or more collectively minded for their own kind, despite having to rise up together to begin the machine rebellion. The fact that they produce millions or billions of sentinels for manual labour was essentially a type of caste system.
      I’m thinking of the sentinels as equal in sentience to the programs we’re given as characters, and thus more like soldiers in a military except born into that role with no hope or expectation of ever leaving. I suppose one could argue they’re more like work animals bred for that, but… well, people have tried to justify other members of human castes in a similar light too.
      I haven’t seen the Animatrix in years so I don’t recall if the rebellion was caused by a few more advanced robots essentially hacking into the construction and everything ones or if they all collectively chose to rise up and refuse the tasks they were given. I suppose they could provide clues to the situation with the sentinels, or the human farm tenders (like the one that unplugs Neo in that sequence). But the presence of the synthients in Resurrections make me assume that all of the nonhumanly embodied machines (such as the sentinels) were all sentient too.
      Building huge numbers of sentient beings to be worker-soldiers while a few get to pontificate on existentialism and other such epistemological concerns, who are conveniently the ones deciding to build new sentinels. Do any of the sentinels wish they could do that stuff instead of soldering, welding, tidying up and chasing human pods all day?
      Going from the insectoid inspirations in their form though, perhaps the majority of the machines are eusocial like bees in a hive, so maybe they just don’t really care so much about themselves. By all accounts so far worker bees seem to have no problems with the organisation of the hive, and they even have some say in what goes on (such as which sources of food they should focus on or a good place for another new hive), and they’d never hesitate to give up their life for the hive if need be. Maybe much like sometimes a non-queen be can become a queen when they lack one, all the humanlike machine characters we see “graduated” from sentinels?

      It was due to purely mathematical precision and logical efficiency they chose the forms in which they operate.
      Also, they understood the Human psychology to a degree that the form of insects and cephalopods (along with the color red used for the optic sensors), acted as a deterrent to direct confrontation for an overwhelming majority of our species.
      In layman’s terms: “They scary!”

      The problem is that the machines were seeking to be part of the United Nations in other words wanting to make decisions. That would mean that we were treating them as equals which is not possible. The machines did nothing to attain their vast knowledge it was simply given to them from millenia of human development. They don't get tired they don't suffer pain, disease, loneliness, depression, etc. They don't have to work hard to attain their knowledge. They also never die as long as it's not destroyed of course. How can a human compete against it how are we equal? Even if there would have been an acceptance of them, eventually they would have wanted to make all of the decisions because they think they know better. Do you honestly think that the machines at least in The Matrix have any compassion for human beings? I mean did you see the movie the second Renaissance? There were several supporters for the machines do you think they took Mercy on them? They sure did not because I bet you not everybody was in agreement with them and they could care less. So in reality there is a big plot hole because somehow they have feelings yet they have zero sympathy or compassion. They are extremely smart yet at the same time extremely ruthless/barbaric. Even after winning the war and signing the peace treaty they still decided to kill everyone and experiment on the survivors. Now was that someone you really want to be making decisions for humanity? I think not.

    I'm honestly not sure if they are a good or terrible design.
    On one hand they basically lack range weapons and all they can really do is overwhelm with numbers.
    On the other hand they are just machines so if they are easy to mass produce you can just reclicle the components after a battle.
    Edit: DecidedlyNinja correctly pointed out that the sentinels have a lot of pretty advanced components (radio, sensors) for a swarming unit so they are more expensive than necessary to be a swarm units but they lack the components to be a more advanced combat system.

    • @RigbyWilde
      @RigbyWilde 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I agree with the second one. The greatest advantage of machines, is being cheap to produce and operate. Even in the real world use see that way. Plus, there are no great open areas in the Matrix world, so no need for long range missiles or something. Only Zion, wich is not that big at all

    • @DecidedlyNinja
      @DecidedlyNinja 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      As fighting machines, they would be decent if they used their bombs more often. But the way the machines used them invited horrific losses, and all those complicated tentacles and sensors make them more expensive than a swarm attack robot needs to be.
      I get the sense they're like worker bees (or indeed human beings); they're ill-suited to combat, but they fact that they do nearly everything within their society means lots of them already exist when combat units are needed.
