Poll: Will you trade fee for volume in a slow market?

The volumes are low, the competition is fierce, and the AMC is asking. Which will you choose?

  • I'm not walking out the door for $1 less than my normal fee of ($5xx)

    Votes: 17 41.5%
  • I'll take my chances with the $400 even though I think it's a crime for the fees to be that low

    Votes: 7 17.1%
  • I'll hate my life, but $375 is more than $0 so I'll do what I have to do

    Votes: 14 34.1%
  • Trick question because I was already starved out of the business last year

I also read that the energy usage of AI is enormous, and some communities are banning the monster data servers.

AI is creepy, it will take jobs and give nothing in return except greater wealth to the billionaires. It has some limited-use applications and, in certain fields, can be beneficial, but the experiences I have had with it is dismal. Spell checking that inserts the wrong word, editing programs that rewrite sentences into generic pablum, platitudes given as answers to questions.

Computer-generated "art" is vastly inferior to the art that people produce. Computer-generated music is cold, derivative, and lifeless. The potential for deepfake videos, photos, and false identities and fraud generated with AI is frightening, given that many are already vulnerable to disinformation and can not tell the difference between fact, opinion, disinformation, and information.
 
AI does nothing I need it to.
I like AI !

Hey chatgpt, Will you be my friend?

Of course! I’m here to chat and support you. What’s on your mind today?

Hey chatgpt, What is the difference of a central angle and chord direction in a curve sequence on a property legal description?

In property legal descriptions, particularly when dealing with curves, the terms "central angle" and "chord direction" refer to different aspects of the geometry of the curve:

Central Angle: This is the angle subtended at the center of a circle by the endpoints of a curve. It helps define how much of the circle is encompassed by the curve and is measured in degrees. In property descriptions, knowing the central angle helps in understanding the arc's extent and the curvature of the boundary.

Chord Direction: The chord is a straight line connecting the endpoints of the curve. The chord direction refers to the bearing or direction of this line relative to a reference point (usually north). It gives an indication of the straight-line distance between the endpoints and is used to describe how the property boundary aligns in relation to surrounding land.

In summary, the central angle relates to the curvature of the arc itself, while the chord direction provides the straight-line orientation of the curve's endpoints. Both are essential for accurately defining property boundaries.

So what? It gave you an answer you could have found with a simple Google or other website search.

It just regurgitates data in sentence form.

Chat gpt is not your friend. It is out to take your job and income away or marginalize you to a drone quality check position. Correction: Chat GPT itself will not take your job, rather the companies and tech giants who control it and want to get the $ you used to earn will take your job by saying AI outperforms you (whether that is true or not)

People have to decide what they value - including supporting other human workers and human creativity and ownership of our intellectual property. Many forward-thinking artists and writers are already suing AI for stealing their intellectual property (which is what AI does )

I am not anti tech and AI has its place in some applications but I am happy to see that many are leery of it and tech billionaires themselves are warning of its danters - including controlling drones and weapons in warfare. No human consciousness to hold back or moral or ethical input - think about what that means.

Yes, thank you for proving my point. I'm just going to put the legal description in the report, plat, plot plan, etc. as an exhibit and I don't give a hoot about any of that noise. If you don't like it, get a survey and you'll pay for that and it won't be quick. Or you can send me one you have for an exhibit to refer to.
 
How did Waivers get approved for use in GSE valuations?

I know they are not subject to the regulations that appraisals are -then the question is, did any regulators approve their use?
 
of course the unethical stakeholders want to starve out the independent appraiser...its been like that ever since the hvcc well duh

They had been brewing for years, but the Covid lockdowns unleashed them. Appraisers too afraid to leave their basements and Mask Karens who would not let anyone in their homes left the GSE with no alternative. The rise in sales prices thanks to unwarranted money printing after 2020 kept defaults at bay so the insanity of the waiver system was never exposed to the daylight. The extended foreclosure moratorium will mean the **** will not hit the fan for a year or two.

Yes they do require a lot of electricity. Data centers are not going away. They need anywhere between 20Mw and a 100Mw or more to operate. That is why they almost all of them all have their own substations. As far as communities banning them. They do so at their own peril. I wonder how many of those communities are pushing for green energy. If they are they have no choice but to ban them because wind and solar just can't cut it when it comes to a dependable constant source of power for anything

I wonder how long before "Skynet" and that documentary "Terminator" comes to fruition?
