Who Is Really In Control Of the Appraisal Institute.

So, yes, taxpayer and Appraisal Institute money goes to teaching minorities, including veterans, an archaic appraisal technology that has nearly reached "end of life."

The founding partners (Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Appraisal Institute, National Urban League) likely contribute significant amounts as well...
Take a speculation and using it as the basis to assert a fact is not the most solid logical footing. :)
 
I am confused? Are you saying the errors by the GenAI are intentionally incorrect and inherently corrupt? :)

The ADI money is used for the scholarships that ADI grants. I don't think that is a big secret. and, as your post notes, the money was donated by a large lender.

As for my main point - I find it amusing that some have become enthralled with posting GenAI results without any level of confirmation of significant errors or omissions.

Well, you are complaining about an insignificant error regarding Bill Garber. In fact, if he was working in that role for over 16 years and just resigned last year, I would venture to guess he is STILL actively engaged in that role. That is a good assumption by Claude (if that is its reasoning). Yet, you have made a 10x more serious error by saying that all the money for ADI was donated by a single large lender, - who of course no one cares about - Chase. But AI members are indeed concerned about where their money is being spent. And taxpayers as well.

And despite all the excitement about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac going private, it hasn't happened yet. And even when it does, we are still weighted with the "too big to fail" encumbrance on these organizations.

LLMs, such as Claude, are neural networks that resemble human neuronal networks and are subject to imperfections. Yet, more and more, it should be mentioned, they are being combined with exact reasoning systems capable of handling complex logic and amounts of data and complexity far beyond what any human is capable of. And they keep learning day and night, day after day, year after year.

Whose to say? Do you really know your own company's finances, as well as those of Fannie Mae? You only know what you are told. And, in the end, "likely" is only a statement of probability not fact. You should know that as a degreed mathematician. What nonsense you speak! "Take a speculation and use it as a basis to assert a fact." What fact? You're getting old, guy. You're also not a thorough reader.

Your original post referred specifically to a 3 million dollar donation, and that is what I was responding to. :)
As an AI member you could simply ask how much money AI has donated to ADI.
 
It is amusing the lengths you go to defend you GenAI post. It is not really very hard to find out what Bill's current role is.

I never said that was the only donation. Original Post? What exactly is that? It is cerainly not my Opening Post (OP). Posts #2 and #3 mention the $3M Chase donation, but nothing to the effect that it was the only donation. You certainly lack anything close to rigorous mathematical thinking, in addition to being a poor reader. I don't know how old you are, but I am 78 and I am still doing just fine. Maybe have another 3-5 years of reasonably clear thinking ahead of me. ..... Who frigging knows?

I stated what his current role is, per LinkedIn. You appear to selectively read about 30% of whatever is posted, and imagine close to 90% of what you infer.
 
I have to go running.
 
And when I get back, I suppose I will encounter more massive deflection from DW.

Amorin and the rest of the "inner circle" massively support Bill Garber. It is a "kind" of massive corruption here. You get this politically motivated support for the downtrodden "minorities." And behind the banner of "ADI", this inner group of rotten-minded appraisal leadership protects their careers for perhaps another 5-10 years. That's all it is folks. - A waste of money and time for the rest of us.

Yes, YOU stated the correct role. Claude did not, even though it was readily available. As I noted before, my main point was to illustrate the problem with posting output from LLMs without verification.

I am sorry that pointing out that error put you into full Zoe mode. :)
