- Grady Booch pushes back on the claim that the cited result proves convergent evolution between organic and artificial neurons.
- In the reply, Phillip Isola argues that even if the neuroscience claim is uncertain, studying such convergence is still useful for ML.
- The practical takeaway: identifying shared structures across different networks may help design better interfaces between networks and improve algorithms.
