Tennessee Real Estate Listing Service Announces National Expansion Using Chicago-Area Model at Center of Zillow Antitrust Lawsuit

Real Estate agent

Realtracs, Tennessee’s largest Multiple Listing Service for real estate, revealed plans to expand nationally by partnering with the real estate giant Compass, using a model the company developed in the Chicago area. The program allows homes to be listed as “private exclusives,” first made available to a network of Compass-affiliated real estate agents before hitting the open market.

Proponents say the partnership between Compass and the largest MLS in Chicago, Midwest Real Estate Data LLC (MRED), gives sellers more control over the process, offers them more privacy, and can result in better sale prices, but critics include the real estate and rental listing platform, Zillow, who on May 12 filed a federal antitrust lawsuit, claiming MRED threatened to cut off its access to home listings in response to concerns about the private listings.

Commentary: Anthropic and the Rise of Woke AI

American Greatness
AI machine

Woke AI is the worst AI, with blue-state politics and ideological bias as its source code. Take, for example, Anthropic, whose executives include senior Biden-era officials and the former head of Sleepy Joe’s AI Safety Institute. No wonder the company opposes President Trump’s executive orders to create a national framework for AI leadership. The company also opposes Trump’s effort to eliminate onerous and prejudicial state laws that have nothing to do with AI safety. That policy alignment is not accidental, particularly when it comes to Anthropic’s attempt to sell “safety” tools to the Pentagon.

Bear in mind, too, that Anthropic was seeded by effective altruism (EA) money, courtesy of Facebook cofounder Dustin Moskovitz and Sam Bankman-Fried’s Alameda Research, and wrapped in EA rhetoric about “long-term” humanity. Its political network tilts hard left, its CEO despises Trump, its cofounder mocks Catholics, and its policy shop is a think tank for brain-dead hacks who oppose Trump’s agenda.
