someone needs to post this in a meshtastic group, we’ll have lora store and forward bird routers
Benn Jordan’s videos are great.
Still more compatible than webp

In response to your “can it run doom” question, I think the next step is to get one of these microphones, train the birds to use a computer to access food by making specific noises then eventually storing programs on them.
I think the sample in the video was about 66% of Doom being transmitted per second, so you could probably teach them a song with Doom in it
So a bird can store doom, there’s enough memory…
bless you
This would be great for an “oh fuck off” plot point in a cyberpunk thriller or something. ‘What do you mean the only copy of the ____ is on the corpo’s pet raven’
Officially stolen for my Cyberpunk Red campaign. Thanks, Satan!
Fake news. Birds aren’t real.
I was pretty enthralled by a lot of the stuff in this video. Kinda wanna try birdnet-pi now!
a very minor nitpick: it’s not a PNG at all, it’s a lot fuzzier than being an actual image format. but I get that he’s gotta dumb down the video title so it’s not really a big deal
The original file was a PNG. It stopped being a PNG when it was encoded as spectrogram of an audio file. Obviously in the bird’s memory the data is neither png nor any other machine-readable file format, but electrochemical signals.
His other video on audio surveillance is eye opening. Stuff like that is relatively accessible to a layperson nowadays, it’s scary to think what’s possible on the cutting edge of things.
How many bits of data can a Starling “carry” and is it faster to have a starling fly data across the country to deliver data than it is for the data to be downloaded?
It’s no station wagon full of tapes, but we can probably get there. It’ll be like Johnny Mnemonic but with birds.
More importantly, can we train a bird to fly around singing porn sans age verification?
a bird sang your nudes onto my phone
This is the insane poetic future i wanted.
Ideally you can teach the starlings as a group and get distributed storage with a high replication factor for free.
Just make sure to store your data with an error correcting coding.
And if the birds continue to propagate your data to their young, that’s even better security.
Someone should teach Starlings those DeCSS numbers.
He does a quick calculation in the video and concludes that in this case it was ~176KB of uncompressed information, working out to about 2 MiB/s of bandwidth given that time it took to sing out the data.
You wouldn’t download a bird!
Would if they were real.
This joke makes no sense in this context you idiot! Oh it’s me…
The media-centric broadcast extension to IP-over-avian we’ve all been waiting for.

Can the bird sing the epstein files though?
Sadly the bird killed itself before it could repeat the message.
I give it 2 weeks before some goofs have made the birds sing the shape of a penis.
