In the original version of the script, the point wasn't to use humans as batteries, it was to use them as processors. The Matrix runs on human brains, and all the leftover brainpower is used on real world problems the machines were dealing with. They turned humans into the computers.

So, trying to overload the processing limits of the Matrix would just kill people. They'd drop dead from the mental strain. Best case scenario, you give everyone in the Matrix a hangover before the automatic safeties kick in.

Ohh, they weren't CPUs? (like in >!Hyperion cantos!< by Dan Simmons)

I prob just assumed it/headcanoned it bcs just the batteries is ofc stupid.

would kill people

(Crashing your "computer" doesn't usually fry your CPU, just crashes the software, nor does 100% CPU load necessarily crash your PC, just keep the CPU cool and within safe amperage/voltage specs)

Yes! But they have spares, and hot & cold redundancies. Just wait for the reboot, the robots do all the admin work (wait, the Matrix robots are not furries? Another stupid script inconsistency/decision!)

And now try with a bit less cheese/a smaller ass.
You gotta find a spot that those brainholes can still process in real time - it's not just the point to see at what size your butt crashes the system, but also to see what's the max butt size you it can still successfully process twerking - the true cosmic clappening.

Imagine billions of people thinking at 100% capacity about every detail of your butt.

Yeah, but brains aren't computers. If you deprive a human of sleep for long enough, they die. If you play loud music at all hours of the day, they get stressed out and become mentally and physically ill. Forcing a human to process too much auditory stimuli is the organic equivalent of overclocking a CPU. And for organics it's bad and dangerous. https://www.medicaldaily.com/torture-methods-sound-how-pure-noise-can-be-used-break-you-psychologically-318638

Imagine billions of people thinking at 100% capacity about every detail of your butt.

At that point you have become the oppressor class.

But what happens when they need to process all that ass?
