Not related to the text itself, but the LLM style more generally: why does it regularly adopt the “it’s not X, it is Y” pattern?

Not exactly.

What he did is he drew a simple sketch (a drawing of a bird) in an audio spectrogram, played the resulting sound to a (very talented) bird, which replayed the sound to him, and the spectrogram of the bird sound really looked quite similar to the original sketch.

While super interesting, not quite storing data in a bird in a way I hoped when reading the title.

This reminded me reading (ages ago) about Altera’s HardCopy [1]: a “process that takes a working FPGA design implemented in one of Altera’s high-end FPGAs (such as Stratix II) and gives you a functionally- and footprint-equivalent ASIC at a fraction of the unit cost.”

Did a bit of Googling and realised it seems to be still alive in the form of Intel’s eASIC! [2].
