But after you made one and trained it you couldn't make a copy. You'd have to
start over.
Isn't this akin to what biological life does?
We are the result not only of our DNA and neurological hardware, but of the accumulating
mass of our own unique experiences and all the interactions they triggered within our
neural cortex (forming memories and triggering reactions etc.)
Yes it is, only more so. Biological life has evolved by passing on configurations that
survived and reproduced better. If you trained one of these atomic switching networks,
the next one wouldn't inherit anything from it. One of the technological promises of
neural networks was that while you would have to train one of them, thereafter you could
just copy it.
