This is a joke, right? I mean, neural nets typically require THOUSANDS of training runs to learn even the simplest things. In this case, each training run corresponds to a complete execution of the program. If you don't believe that neural nets learn slowly, get a copy of PDP vol 3 and play with the programs in the enclosed floppies. ["slowly" in the sense of requiring many trials. Obviously those programs could be a lot faster.]
