Interesting, but as a former neuroscientist, when I see him write the following about the misinterpreted cat/car neuron from "Zoom In":

I have to ask, did they not look up how the human visual system works? The primary visual cortex has any number of early neurons that are spatially-tuned for various shapes and edges, and this is pretty basic knowledge.

In fairness, neural networks are more divergent from biology than a lot of people think, but it seems there's still low-hanging fruit to be grabbed with a minimal collaboration.
