> How would the input and output devices work without drivers? Does "no classical software at all" mean that the drivers are somehow within the neural net? That's my impression, yeah: the neural net would learn to associate input signals with output signals. If this could ever be made to work then it'd have some pretty neat implications for human prosthetics. > How would such a magical neural net computer be trained? You'd need some way to praise or scold the thing. Probably a debug line or something to encode pass v. fail. > How would you program such a computer or load new software onto it? If the whole thing is a single neural net, wouldn't the neural net need to be replaced in order to add new functionality or correct errors/bugs? I think you answered your own question: swap out the entire neural net (which would probably entail a hardware swap unless you're able to train a neural net to replace itself). > How would user data be persisted while upgrading the applications? Train the neural net to interface with a hard drive?
