[So now outfits that collect and search internet content want to start charging AI companies that make chatbots for the data they use to train their LLMs.  Companies like Google and Amazon get this data for ‘free’ – actually, what it costs them to scrape it from the web – as it is provided also for free by billions of online consumers.  The conundrum is that the very large data repositories don’t want to drive away the AI-based search engines by making their training datasets too expensive.  Until now the whole purpose of those freely accessible datasets has been to have third-party search results point to the data that the Googles and Amazons make available.  And since it costs tens of millions of dollars in power and processing time to make a functioning LLM, everyone involved already has skin in the game.  If it ain’t broke, … .  gjr]

    Barnny Frank is calling and wants his 2008 disaster back –
    Biden’s plan was outlined just a few weeks ago by the Federal Housing Agency (FHFA) and is set to take effect today. The plan is aimed at helping lower-income borrowers afford their monthly mortgage payments – it would do so by forcing people with good credit scores to pay more each month for their mortgages, extra payments that would be credited to the loans of higher-risk borrowers.
    The controversial policy has been attacked by both Republicans and Democrats, including President Obama’s former Federal Housing Administrator. On Monday, financial officers from 27 states weighed in and said it was clear the policy was a mistake even before it takes effect
    “It is already clear that this new policy will be a disaster,” they wrote in a letter led by Pennsylvania Treasurer Stacy Garrity that was sent to Biden and FHFA Director Sandra Thompson. “It amounts to a middle-class tax hike that will unfairly cost American families millions upon millions of dollars. And – at a time when the real estate market has already slowed considerably due to high interest rates – it will further depress home sales.”
    “We urge you to take immediate action to end this unconscionable policy,” they wrote.
    The state finance officers blasted the plan for turning the normal system of home buying incentives “upside down” by hurting people who make sound financial decisions.
    “[T]the policy will take money away from the people who played by the rules and did things right – including millions of hardworking, middle-class Americans who built a good credit score and saved enough to make a strong down payment,” they wrote. “Incredibly, those who make down payments of 20 percent or more on their homes will pay the highest fees – one of the most backward incentives imaginable.”
    It noted that the forced extra payments will be used to hand out “better mortgage rates to people with lower credit ratings. Others have said the plan would make it easier for people with shaky credit histories to afford more expensive mortgages, a move that could put more people at financial risk.

    Don B 6:57 – The Local Yokel news here weighed in on the new mortgage fiasco plan:

    The bottom line is they obfuscate and twist the issue in a vain attempt to mislead the public. The question is simple: are folks with good credit going to subsidize those with bad credit? And the answer is yes. But you wouldn’t get that kind of clear answer from these bozos. They assure you that the good credit folks will still be paying less fees than the bad credit folks, but that clearly wasn’t the question.
    Even an ABC affiliate admits the simple truth:
    “First-time homebuyers with high credit scores would pay more under this new rule.”

    Not just search, but anyone with data can see a little value from it. Reddit wants to charge for access, Google now looks more brilliant than usual for inventing things they spy on (Gmail) and made unavailable to the general public (scanned books, all the data the google cars picked up when mapping).
    The IoT companies (appliances, home security cameras) have a new market besides surveillance advertising and the car companies are bound to sell telemetry and eavesdropping.
    I wonder if you can build a usable LLM by simply scanning every book/magazine written before, say, 1950? I’m not sure that I want an AI partly fueled by the insanity of Redditors.

    Given the Progressives’ genius in using lawfare against sanity, I wonder what the smart countermove is. A town could start by selling all ‘public’ space to some kind of private entity and use it under contract.
    I guess what you are left with is streets and the people in control of the Democrats would simply move their street army there. Step two is to make it harder to live in rural areas, pressure on the ownership of private cars is a good start, so that you have the homeless in your lap outside your high density apartment.

    Mayorkas is often chased by yipping dogs like MTG and BoBo Boebert but seems like a reasonable guy constrained by a do-nothing Congress and the state of the legal system.
    From Meet the Press last Sunday,
    SEC. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS:
    A few things, Chuck. First of all, this is a really tough challenge and has been, as we all recognize, for years and years. We are seeing a level of migration not just at our southern border, but throughout the hemisphere, that is unprecedented. It is, I think, the greatest migration in our hemisphere since World War II. The president on day one delivered a solution. He delivered immigration reform legislation that we had hoped Congress would act on swiftly. They haven’t. Within the constraints of a broken immigration system, we are doing so much. Our approach is to build lawful pathways, cut out the ruthless smugglers, deliver lawful pathways so people can access humanitarian relief without having to take the dangerous journey from their home countries. And at the same time, if they arrive at our southern border in between ports of entry, we will deliver consequences.
    SEC. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS:
    So we will exercise our enforcement authorities in a traditional immigration context. Remember, Title 42 is a public health authority, not an immigration authority that was delivered in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. When that ends on May 11th, we will use our immigration authorities under Title 8 of the United States code. That family will be placed in immigration enforcement proceedings, removal proceedings. They will make a claim — if they make a claim for relief, we will adjudicate that claim for relief swiftly.
    SEC. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS:
    So it could be days or weeks. It is not going to be months and months.
    CHUCK TODD:
    Because we’ve seen that in New York, migrants are getting court dates in 2033. How does that happen?
    SEC. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS:
    So, we are — what we have done now is we are going to be able to exercise our immigration enforcement authorities. We’ve been precluded from doing so by a court. We sought to end Title 42 long ago.
    SEC. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS:
    Title 42 does not deliver an immigration consequence. Title 8 of the United States code does. If an individual is removed under Title 8, they will encounter an at least five-year bar on readmission to the United States.
    CHUCK TODD:
    Here’s a question I have, there are two million asylum cases in the backlog right now. What happens to new asylum claims on May 12th? Do they get put in line behind these two million cases? Do they get — this is why the quick adjudication, I get it in theory. How is it going to work in practice when we’re sitting on two million — a two million case backlog?
    SEC. ALEJANDRO MAYORKAS:
    So we’re going to focus on recent border crossers. But the point, the fundamental point, is we have more than two million cases in an immigration backlog that has been building year over year over year. What a powerful example of a completely broken immigration system. We have got to fix it. We need legislative reform.

    The wokesters are getting real push back even when they are as big as this –
    As an example, the AGs said the National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF) was “de-banked” last year without explanation.
    NCRF is a “nonpartisan, faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to defending the right of everyone in America to live one’s faith freely.” According to the letter, NCRF’s National Advisory Board includes Christian, Hindu, Jewish, and Muslim members.
    Three weeks after NCRF opened a Chase checking account last year, Chase sent NCRF a letter indicating that the bank had “end[ed] their relationship.” When NCRF inquired about the closure, Chase never gave an explanation but eventually said it would reopen the account but only if NCRF provided the bank a list of its donors, political candidates they intended to support and criteria for its endorsements.
    “The bank’s brazen attempt to condition critical services on a customer passing some unarticulated religious or political litmus test flies in the face of Chase’s anti- discrimination policies,” the AGs wrote.
    The AGs also said a credit card processor owned by Chase shut down the account of a conservative pro-life organization for being “high risk.” That same year, a company called WePay, which is also owned by Chase, refused service to a conservative group because WePay equated conservative views with “hate, violence, racial intolerance, [and] terrorism[.]”
    Chase reversed that decision only after intense pressure from the Treasurer of Missouri, according to the letter.

    To their credit, folks from south of the border, at least the first generation, appear to be useful. I expect that, statistically, people from Asia are useful. Maybe the way to go is to be selective about host country in terms of whether the law is followed.

    “A fat ass redneck sheriff with a Wilford Brimley stash”
    What video is that? There’s some averagely heavy guy, downright skinny by California white guy standards, with no mustache. Methinks you watched 0% of the video. It’s actually worth a watch just to get the lay of the land from the view of an overworked bureaucrat.
    Cochise County AZ really can be a war zone. Maybe they could send our useless VP to help out.

    Cee Liar 10:05 – “No doubt Scott has been sold by Tucker Carlson that there was no illegal immigration until Biden was elected, and there were never any drugs being smuggled in the country before Trump lost the last election.”
    Really?
    Is that the best you can do? Show up here with a stupid shit-eating lie?
    Of course you lead with a display of complete ignorance – “If the dumbass would post someone there they could just load them all up into the paddy wagon and deport them.”
    Yeah Skippy, you do that. Good Lord you are one ignorant maroon. Just for starters – a sheriff CAN’T deport them.
    “…just post someone there…”
    Clearly you didn’t watch the videos.
