I'm seeing some pretty cool projects for bird detection with YOLO online. They may do more than you need; you probably don't care about the kind of bird, right?
Maybe it would be worth it to spend a few tokens on an implementation, just to try!

I hope this never happens, but if one day a cell in your colon maximizes its short-term replication at the expense of the long-term stability of the system it depends on, I hope nobody tells you it's fine because it's "natural."

Maybe. There are a lot of online games where nothing is worth anything, but I don't think those are default high-trust societies. People will log in just to annoy the other players.

There are pictures of a similar technique in this paper: https://www.osti.gov/servlets/purl/1808415
It was done with manually-written gcode though.

I think it's more about the way things are vs the way things "should" be.
e.g "teens are going to experiment with sex, so comprehensive sex education is the best way to keep them safe"
vs
"Teens should not have sex, so abstinence-only education is the best way to keep them safe"
