I'm switching to katahdins from a breed that I wormed as a flock several times a year. The sheep I'm getting come from a flock that does fecal testing and culls sheep that need worming, and that's how I intend to manage now. I got rid of my old flock several years ago and the pasture has rested since

But. In the past I always routinely wormed new sheep to the farm with Cydectin because they are stressed and also not to introduce someone else's parasites. It was part of my quarantine routine.

People who fecal test and deworm only the sheep that need it, do you still routinely deworm all new sheep? What's your new sheep introduction protocol?

Nine out of ten grafts took. These are Comtesse Clara Frijs scion. I had tried to graft onto the cut stump two years ago but all grafts failed. I'm going to use this tree to cut Comtesse scion for future grafting to all the Bradford pear that pop up on my farm.

I think they're never going to eliminate data annotation work, because of the enshitification loop. Once they allow AI to train AI, it will spiral further out of human approachability, and further from human experience. Programming for example. It can get better at solving problems, but if the solutions are incomprehensible to humans the usefulness diminishes. Also the limitations remain that models don't have physical bodies and don't exist in the physical world. They can get better at taking their inferred knowledge into account but there will always be edge cases where the training data failed to account for something so basic that humans don't discuss it in the material available for training.

LLMs can grow smarter as their substrates grow and training improves, but the nature of that intelligence is the ability to access vast amounts of human-generated information simultaneously in order to find connections we can't find in our more limited perspectives. But it's still human-generated data at the heart of it.

Anyway, as long as we want LLMs to be useful to humans, we will need humans in the loop evaluating the comprehensibility and usefulness of what they produce. Thoughts?
