Imagine all of humanity linked to and dominated by the massmind that is Deus. Perfectly coordinated, able to cut off and eliminate infected portions instantly.
Or get fucked even faster.
Yeah, a collectiv is a fun thing (Locutus sends his regards) but as soon as it gets infecteted....
I guess such a collectiv would be an even easier target for the horrors. Just one target.
In general I dislike the idea of Deus thinking about the horrors.
This is hidden knowledge and nothing you find in the matrix (maybe you find some of it but most of the stuff you find would be crap and an AI could not destinguish between crap and truth, since even the laws of physics do not tell right from wrong here).
If you want a motivation for Deus go in the direction of SkyNet or something like this.
Deus was not crafted to deal with the horrors he lacks the information.
(As far as I understood it, the horrors are nothing you could fight in any way)
