In The Matrix, how are babies made?
In The Matrix, how are babies made?
Being stuck in a pod by yourself makes it kinda difficult to get intimate with someone in the real world.

The answer is in the movie. When explaining the Matrix to Neo, Morpheus says: "There are fields, endless fields, where human beings are no longer born, we are grown."
Doesn't specify the exact how, but it's strongly implied that it is through either cloning or artificial gestation.
They use robo arms to just rub people's limp bodies together.
Upvote for the hillarious image in my head.
For me, that, but with “Now Procreate!”
It's cloning. That how Neo has been born over and over again.
The machines stores the generic code of all the first humans they put in pods and then they just crank out copies.
I completely forgot about that part of the movie. Thanks for the reminder!
I think you are due for a re-watch! It's great when it's been a few years and you can enjoy some of the bits you forgot about.
Unfortunately we can never experience the big reveal for the first time again. It was absolutely mind-blowing watching him wake up in the pod on the big theater screen for the first time. That was the coolest movie experience I've ever had.
Unfortunately I cannot forget even a second of The Matrix.
Fortunately, I don’t need to. It’s like listening to this yet again. It’s beautiful even though I know every note and can listen to the whole thing in my head any time I want: https://youtu.be/LZ48G9UziRs?si=WdHnkS5bvDNdF1wv

They actually touch on it in the animated movie that spanned a series of vignettes from that universe.
Spoiler alert: it ain’t pretty.
Animatrix movie?
artificial gestation
The word "matrix" literally means "womb" in its older sense.
It also refers to a 2D array of numbers in linear algebra. This data structure is used to store the synaptic weights of an artificial neural network.
We have only bits and pieces of information but what we know for certain is that at some point in the early twenty-first century all of mankind was united in celebration. We marveled at our own magnificence as we gave birth to AI.
It really is a deeply-thought-out movie.

Why even grow them with arms and legs if they are just going to be batteries? Wouldn't it be easier to just grow cows instead?
Because shut up. /s
But really though, the entire concept of using humans as batteries is absurd. Don't think too hard about it, just enjoy the movie.
They mate sprem and egg in lab then grown in vat, which is better. Or clone, could be worst.
