Plucking Droplets

A sudden breeze can pluck droplets hanging from a stem. Here, researchers recreate that phenomenon in the laboratory. With a close-up view and high-speed images, we can enjoy every detail of the detachment and break-up. As the wire pulls away, it drags a liquid sheet off the droplet. The thicker rims on either side of the sheet eventually collide, creating a jet that stretches, deforms, and, at last, breaks. (Video and image credit: D. Maity et al.)

La IA no viene a liberarnos: viene a acumular más capital.

Marx, Lafargue y Keynes se equivocaron al pensar que cada vez trabajaríamos menos. «El aumento de la productividad no está sirviendo para liberarnos del trabajo, sino para concentrar la riqueza de muchos en manos de muy pocos», señala Guillem Pujol.
