A good read.
Glitches in the Matrix & how to fix them This is an article that also appears in the book 'Taking the Red Pill'. Although the book lists Kurzweil as a contributor, and this article is on kurzweilai.net, the article is by Peter Lloyd, which confused me until I noticed the author after reading the article.
Somewhat off-topic from his explanations of the movie, he claims that the agents aren't conscious. He cites the narrative by agent Smith during Morpheus' interrogation. But one of the posters pointed out the irrational actions of the subordinate agents after Neo is resurrected and attacks agent Smith. Would consciousness be required to allow self-preservation to take control despite their responsibilities?
Is there a distinction between sentience and consciousness
