Neat, but not functional. It only learns a hard-coded function (xor), and has no way of even activating the network once its learned. However, it does a good job of illustrating how simple a multilayer perceptron (this specific breed of neural network) actually is. People hear about machine learning and think they must be incredibly complicated algorithms. Simple systems work best.
