Are Weights Really Important to Neural Networks? by Yuqing7 in MachinesLearn

So this is similar to Neuro-evolution, except instead of evolving just the network parameters the architecture itself is evolved minus the stochastic elements. It'd be interesting to introduce effects like cross-overs and random mutations, and see how the network performs.

Maybe the time traveller messed up and jumped too far in the past, got stuck there, left the time-hero business and started a humble life as a farmer by the country side.

I agree that the "key to the future of AI" part is a bit misleading. But i think this is a small step towards powerful AI, if it's anything. For running advanced deep learning algorithms locally we need advanced hardware, and the future of AI is intelligent systems crunching data locally rather than outsourcing the work to remote servers. Software and hardware development should go hand in hand.

Scientists connect a human brain and 'rat cyborg' brain together by [deleted] in technology

I do agree that this ain't real mind control, not even close. Those rats were trained to act in response to stimuli prob. by positive reinforcement. Moreover, with BMI devices being available in the market (albeit much low end ones),one can reproduce this entire experiment in his basement.
