So I saw this, and while I appreciate the conjecture, the narrative sounded unconvincing to me. I think that when we start talking about computational neurobiology, it's hard to sufficiently bound the problem such that computers can model it. Computers are very good at doing stuff that humans know how to do (and repeating it a bajillion times), but it's hard to get computers to do stuff humans don't know how to do (one of the recent interesting expressions of this that is counter to this point is neural networks, but I digress).
When he talks about "we made black with light" I feel like someone is playing "hide-the-ball" because I think of black as the absence of light. Perhaps I am just not modeling the problem correctly, but I did not take away anything useful from the comments in this video :(.
