The absurdity that the machines in The Matrix were harvesting human bodies for power. An interesting theory is that the machines were using human brains as a cluster of computing power. Cool article.

Actually I don’t think this was even a theory. This was the original intent but the studio thought it was too complex for the GA to understand.

Wow, that's crazy, but I believe it. Studios are the worst.

It was spelled out more clearly in the comics. They even trained human minds to do tasks that the machines could not/did not want to do.
