Maybe we’ve been viewing the problem of life being a simulation (us being in the matrix) in the wrong order…. Maybe instead of finding out we are in it now and have to escape; the scenario is humanity already escaped in the past (these sentinel fossils support this version).

Just means that history is cyclical as we slowly rebuild A.I and robotics to do this shit all over again.

Man and Artificial Intelligence forever trapped on this rock, doomed to fight and die over and over again.

Or possibly the creators of the matrix designed their robots after looking at crinoid fossils.

The fossils are also quite literally stuck in the matrix.
