If I understand the article correctly, this research shows that you can compress some 2d image into a circuit design, that if replicated exactly many times in a grid, it will spontaneously output the desired image.

I'm interested in a nearby, but dissimilar project, almost it's reciprocal, wherein you can generate a logic design that is NOT uniform, but where every cell is independent, to allow for general purpose computing. It seems we could take this work, and use it to evolve a design that could be put into an FPGA, and make far better utilization than existing programming methods allow, at the cost of huge amounts of compute to do the training.
