While I think this is beautiful, conceptually, I really am a bit terrified of the potential of this in reverse (the neural network for processing/understanding an image). With Google releasing their 'Photos' app, this network is about to get a direct pipeline for machine learning imagery to accelerate everything – my main fear would be the potential for this technology to be employed by weaponized drones able to scan a scene (with, eventually, incredibly high resolution cameras and microphones that far surpass human capability) and identify every single object/person in realtime (also at a rate that humans are incapable of).

Of course, there is great utility to be had as well, it just scares me to think about what could be done with this technology, in a mature form, if used for violent purposes.
