One thing I've heard talked about is to use deep learning to re-learn arbitrary programs from their inputs and outputs... Then you can throw away the program and just run the neural network. I'm sort of a skeptic, so I think that would just make the programs massively less efficient (usually), more incorrect, and harder to maintain, but I guess it's a research direction. Maybe programmers need to be put out of a job :)

> arbitrary programs It would be really fun to see a web app built on those principles! User clicks on /login/ link -> neural network {"hum ... I wonder what she's after ... let's send her a login form"} -> response. Trained on millions of MechanicalTurkers ... optimizing the function "which user can you keep engaged the longest". :)
