But current neural nets don't have source code as we know it: the intelligence is coded very implicitly into the weighting, post training, and the source code explicitly specifies a net that doesn't do anything.

It is true that much of the intelligence in a neural network is stored implicitly in the weights. The same (or similar) can be said about many other machine-learning techniques. However, I don't think that anything I said above indicated otherwise.
