The author of this post laments how deep learning works, but the suggestion is to solve the problem somehow by only reasoning about how other neurons are firing locally. Isn’t that exactly what deep neural networks already do? A basic feedforward layer has individual neurons that fire if their inputs exceed a threshold, which is based on the timing of the firing of the other neurons. The article presents a vague non-solution. Of course, deep learning has not (yet) cracked full self-driving or general cognition, but without providing more examples or differentiators, this post is somewhat lacking.
