MODERATORS
That makes way more sense. Whenever I watched it I always thought that there must be way more efficient sources of electricity.
It makes way, way more sense in my opinion.
Humans are terrible batteries, but the processing power of our brain on the other hand is amazing.
Based on the FLOPS (Floating point operations per second) today's supercomputer powered by a nuclear power station does not match the processing power of a single brain, powered by a few potatoes.
It also makes the plot a bit more meta, where the simulation they're all in is simulated using the brains of the people inside it.
Even checks out on the allegorical level. The matrix is the capitalist system we're stuck in.
