Corey WayneHOST
You're starting to see the code of the matrix all around you, but you're not yet moving with ease.
Corey WayneHOST
You're still getting tripped up by the agent Smiths.
Corey WayneHOST
that are in the matrix so again you become their ally and wingman and they think you're on their side and again you when you understand women you're happy to introduce other guys because it has an amazing effect on the women because again they wonder like why the fuck are you not hitting on me why are you not asking for my number and oftentimes they'll come up and ask you for your number which again makes it easier.
Corey WayneHOST
Again, you're not going to do this in front of other people.

Tuesday.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
I sound like Agent Smith in The Matrix.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
It's Tuesday.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
You help your neighbor.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
And watch.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
He's in some new TV series.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
And watch, I cannot, I'll never get Agent Smith out of my mind.
Jimmy ChurchHOST
Hugo Weaving will always be Agent Smith.
Rizwan VirkGUEST
And in a video game, it's all the characters that you, meaning players, don't control.
Rizwan VirkGUEST
It's kind of like the Agent Smiths, if you will, in The Matrix, right? And when Elon Musk and many academics talk about simulation theory, and I think this sometimes can...
Rizwan VirkGUEST
people who are more spiritual because they're like well we're not a bunch of godless ais with no soul right but in that flavor of simulation theory it's like the whole universe is just sitting on a computer in some you know alien kid teenager's basement right that that's sort of a way of describing it and the flip side you have the rpg or the role-playing game version now in that version if you think of the matrix morpheus Neo and Trinity all existed outside of the matrix.
Rizwan VirkGUEST
But they also had a character inside, which is called their avatar.
Jason SpearsHOST
I have, but I was literally spending the last 30 some seconds trying to figure out whose voice that was.
Jason SpearsHOST
Only for me to figure out it's Agent Smith.
Jason SpearsHOST
Exactly.
Jason SpearsHOST
It's Hugo Weaving.
Christian RiggGUEST
I mean, like for us as a species, you know, for us as a society, outsourcing, you know, critical thought, it's so dangerous.
Christian RiggGUEST
It immediately makes me think of that line in The Matrix where Agent Smith says to Neo, you know,
Paris ChildressHOST
and I say your world because, you know, once we started to think for you, it
Christian RiggGUEST
really stopped being your world and it was our world.
ChrisHOST
Brother Dan would you have liked it more?
IanHOST
Would you have liked it more if it was a Matt and Pat and Fane battle, kind of like Neo and Agent Smith going at it? And then Pat and Fane is winning, but then Neo goes in him and then explodes out and Pat and Fane gets ripped apart.
IanHOST
But Matt could do it because of that dagger connection.
DanGUEST
I don't think that one person really could have killed Pat and Fane at that point.
James McTeigueGUEST
We shot this big freeway chase and the big rave scene inside Zion.
James McTeigueGUEST
You know, those selected things we shot, the Agent Smith fight in the park when they all, you know, come out and, you know, try and get Neo.
James McTeigueGUEST
So that was like a normal size shoot that was like 65 days but then we shot for we kept shooting for another 210 days in Australia and I knew at the end of that experience of filmmaking that as an assistant director you know I'd kind of reached not that I had personally reached the top but I had you know, going on beyond that, I'm like, oh, okay, what's next after like, you know, it encompassed everything, you know, there was so many different, you know, sets and scenarios and locations.
James McTeigueGUEST
I'm like, oh, okay, I feel like I've done what I wanted to do as an AD, as an assistant director.
56 MINS LATER
James McTeigueGUEST
And, you know, the question, you know, it's hard to have a character behind a mask when, you know, part of the topic that you're discussing with that character is the morality of terrorism, right? It's like a hard thing to get across, right? But the mask kind of helped that too, right? And I think that's why the mask has lived on.
James McTeigueGUEST
People could recognize that you can have complicated feelings and if you need to express something that goes against what the norm is, that the mask is a way of doing that.

Hugo Weaving, also known as Agent Smith from the Matrix movies, is given credit for playing V, but there are several actress and stunt people that played him.
speaker_0MODERATOR
Did you have to fire a previous actor?
DavidaGUEST
There's a bunch of ravens in cages in her apartment.
DavidaGUEST
You go on like figuring out that you're kind of like a chosen one, almost a Matrix-esque levels toward the end, like Neo fighting Agent Smith.
DavidaGUEST
But it's the whole time you're finding out that it's about this whole Aztec calendar, end of the world type situation.
DavidaGUEST
your character can die and you find out that it's going to be the your if you get together with your former girlfriend um your baby's the next chosen one it's it's a whole weird creepypasta type video game but that's the one that comes to mind for me
Peter ScottHOST
Perhaps we need a kind of digital terminator rooting out all such stories from the pre-training data to begin with.
Peter ScottHOST
It certainly would be weird, though, if you were having a conversation with a chatbot and made a reference to, say, Agent Smith from The Matrix, and it said, I don't know what you're talking about.
Peter ScottHOST
In today's news, ripped from the headlines about AI, obviously, OpenAI's solving hundreds of mathematical problems has been a big story.
Peter ScottHOST
But I want to go back a couple of months earlier for a more human story in that domain before it got so acrimonious.
MorrowHOST
for the Matrix.
MorrowHOST
They're the Agent Smiths.
MorrowHOST
The NPCs are
MorrowHOST
an army.
