Did you fall asleep during Morpheus’s long speil? The machines use humans plus a “form of fusion.”
Of course, this raises the question “Why include humans at all?” I like the Steak Hypothesis that one Doper came up with. The machines could very well survive on just fusion energy, but it’s just a lot tastier when channelled through humans.
But did the squids get the blue screen of death?
I’m pretty sure Microsoft would be the first against the wall if the machine revolution comes.

I agree with this but I think there was something more to it.
Morpheus believed Neo was The One to the extent that he (Morpheus) was willing to sacrifice himself to save Neo. This is why he let himself be captured in the bathroom, shortly after the deja vu scene.
Because Neo did not yet believe that he himself was The One, and because he knew that Morpheus was very important to the human rebellion, he (Neo) went to extreme measures to rescue Morpheus from the agents. It’s been a while since I watched Matrix 1, but I thought the Oracle says something to Neo alluding to the fact that Morpheus was going to try to give up his life for The One, and when he got captured almost everyone except Neo was prepared to consider Morpheus lost.
So it was important for Neo not to think that he himself was The One, because otherwise he might have let Morpheus make that sacrifice. Believing what he did at the time, he couldn’t let Morpheus do that.
the oracle said: “oh well, maybe in your next life.”
first: that eases neo’s mind and he thinks he is not the one.
second: when he does die, and then comes back, it is his “next life” now HE thinks he IS the one, and thus he is free to BE the one.
my fav. line of the oracle is when she tells him: “not too smart, are you, good thing you’re cute.”
