In our latest Randomness Reloaded episode, we connect Enlightenment philosophy with modern artificial intelligence — exploring whether machines are becoming creative… or if we are becoming mechanical.

Well they’ve made a real dog’s breakfast out of the creek mouth now. The beach is ridged and pockmarked with tracks, and the splendid escarpment that the sea carved out of the sand has been ‘tidied’ by a shovel to reduce it’s perfect 90 degree angle to a mere 75 degrees. For an attempt at sand sculpture, it’s certainly unusual, but abysmally lacking in style. As a piece of engineering it’s frankly laughable. #sandsculpture #operationcanute #beachsports #councilfolly #humanfolly #sandshifting #creekmouth #christiesbeach #christiescreek https://www.instagram.com/p/CB0Q7sCjRwP/?igshid=js3evmlvskjs

Latest update: we were banned from access because the sea is having too much fun. So I just walked down from further up the beach and photographed their giant sandcastles. We’ll see how much is left of their Herculean efforts tomorrow. #operationcanute #dontmesswiththesea #creekmouth #councilfolly #humanfolly https://www.instagram.com/p/CBu9AEHjxCM/?igshid=1qweel60to65v

So disappointing. The creek has been relatively clear of rubbish recently. #plastic #humanfolly #creek #christiescreek https://www.instagram.com/p/B8ZsuAGD6yW/?igshid=1ijdfusbx0evf
