Turbo Encabulator - Complete Text | The Chief Storyteller The Turbo Encabulator video is a humorous way of gently reminding everyone to minimize jargon. Most people do not even realize how much jargon they use.

One mustnโ€™t forget the turboencabulator either!

A daikon (winter radish) shaped like a person, appears to be walking away from the crop towards the camera.

The countryside is filled with the sound of tearing earth and the staccato pops of roots coming free from the soil. The ground pulsates a steady rhythm, as through a cloud of flying dirt and floating dust, the enraged horde marches towards the city with a singularity of purpose. The vegans must pay.

A black and white photo of a young woman seated in front of an inclined desk, holding a pen or pencil, turning her head for the camera, with a warm smile. There's a Betty Boop image on the background, pasted on the wall, out of focus.

A very innovative animation of Betty Boop where she is kind of breaking the fourth wall, jumping outside of the paper and into the hand of the artist who is holding a pen. She is wearing her classic little strapless dress, big golden earrings, and bracelets.

Lillian Friedman Astor (1912-989) was one of the first women animators in the US.
She worked for Fleischer Brothers' studio, inking and eventually animating Betty Boop and Popeye, among others.
She received screen credit on only 6 of the 42 cartoons she animated in her lifetime.

One of the ways that LLM-authored code improves productivity is by merely SAYING it does things. It's way faster than the whole time-consuming process of actually doing things. This is real code someone sent to me for review.
A screenshot of a code editor. The line numbers are in the lefthand column, running from 121 to 125. There is a comment that says "Verify packages were created and check sizes" Then line 123 says echo Verifying Lambda packages were created... and Line 124 says echo checkmark emoji colon All Lambda packages verified successfully. There is no line in here that actually did anything.
