Candidate A Transcript:
{'pairs': [['Interviewer: Hello and welcome to the AI interview! This interview will consist of basic questions about your background as well as some high-level questions about the skills you listed on your application. Ensure that you minimize long pauses during your responses, otherwise you may be cut off prematurely. Are you ready to start the interview? \n', 'Interviewee: '], ["Interviewer: Great! I see from your resume that you've been working with RLHF AI training. Can you explain the specific challenges you've encountered in this field and how you've addressed them?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yes. Well, I've worked on 2 projects different as a contractor, different outfits. So the first one was data annotation, and the second one's outlier, uh, also known as remote tasks. And, uh, with data, it'll be straightforward. Uh, we just asked to review um, different responses basically based on 2 models. And data annotations, rubric, and criteria for justifying what counts as good and what counts as poor is not as thorough as outlier. Working for Outlier, I've worked in the capacity of creative content writer, of reviewer, so responses from other humans, And also as final editor, that is the the last stage before we send reviewed responses to the. And so the main issues are making sure that criteria from what counts as good and what counts as bad is consistently applied, and it could be objective standards in terms of reasoning or a correct answer in mathematics. Those are pretty straightforward. But then the gray area is to do or involve client preferences and style of writing, which, um, so for example, one client were asked to but not all aspects of AP style are wanted by the client. So it's difficult to know exactly how to get the right consistency, um, and until we get feedback from the client. And we kinda wanna prevent that because having feedback from the client that we might be getting something wrong and it might cause some friction and change it for the contract. So it's basically issues like that of of in terms of applying criteria. The other difficulty, of course, is final editor. When you're at that level of you're the last stage before the client sees the final product, there's a lot of pressure to ensure that you're getting something right. And, you know, the strength of chatbots is when they're trained properly as they as they things right if they're following the right algorithmic rules, etiquette, and so forth. As humans, we're we can overlook things. And so, um, although we tend to be more detailed and critical to looking at written text, more, uh, aware of context and interpretation. It says other things that chatbots do quite well that can be, um, that can be missed by humans. And so that's that's quite stressful and sometimes disappointing when it's missed. But so far, my work with outlier as a reviewer has gone quite well. I consist of very good, uh, ratings or reviews on my review work. Um, you know, every now and then, I might drop the ball a bit because I've missed something. But all in all, it's it's going quite well. And, um, I enjoy the work as long as the team with which I'm working design the criteria or come up with the criteria, they're pretty clear with and so far with Outlaw, it's been great. I'm I'm, you know, on a weekly basis touch with humans and man line managers and tech people. As with data annotation, you're rarely in touch with a human. And so it's a it's a bit\n\n"], ["Interviewer: It sounds like you've dealt with a wide range of challenges, especially in maintaining consistency and meeting client preferences. How do you approach the initial design of evaluation criteria to ensure they are clear and objective, particularly in areas where subjectivity might come into play?  \n\n", "Interviewee: It depends on the prompt and the chat history. I think, um, the best way to there's no one size fits all, but, um, I think Outlier has a pretty good system where we prioritize the chat. So anything brought up in the chat history is seen as to have a ranking preference over how it's as being good in the final months where we're um, so for example, if it can be anything from formatting. So if the chat history has a specific kind of formatting that might be but is used throughout, then we'll we'll apply that to the final response that we're rating. Um, if it's, um, you know, a chat history that's looking at multiple choice questions, we look at the way in which it's answering, um, how it explains the correct answer, and whether or not it explains why the other answers are incorrect. So chat issue is a good thing to go on. And then, um, if, uh, subjectivity might involve ranking or rating a creative piece that has to do with poetry or rewriting a song or rewriting a short story, and there's let's say there's no chat issue to go on, then I apply my expertise and research skills, my academic and humanities, looking for things like, um, are are is the imagery consistent? Structures developed well enough according to the, uh, the remit. Um, you know, it might be a a just a paragraph from a short story because you get turns. But there are ways to apply experience and background to make sure that, in general, responses are consistent, whether it's logical logical consistency or narrative consistency or formatting or structuring consistency, spelling consist and so forth, and making sure that things are clearly explained or catered or elaborated where they need where they in order to give the, uh, user of the prompt the right information or what's often generally the best way to think about it is is the response help to the user? And if it's somewhat helpful, more helpful, or is it does go above and beyond what the expecting and would love to to reach?\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Your approach of leveraging chat history for context and then applying a mix of objective and subjective criteria based on the type of response is quite insightful. Shifting focus a bit, can you discuss a specific project where you had to significantly revise the evaluation criteria based on feedback from the client, and how you managed that process to ensure a smooth transition for the team?  \n\n', "Interviewee: Yeah. There are several respond that, um, I guess, intuitively and beyond intuitively, um, from my own experience that I think are right. Um, a lot of it actually, you know, a lot of it does not have stand of content, um, and that's because if there is a prompt or a response that involves a topic that is outside my remit, whether it's coding, very specific about STEM. Um, I won't take the time to try and research it. There's kind of no point anyone else, uh, who is in my role that can do that. Every now and then, you'll get prompts that involve some expertise, but they can be researched. And outlier is pretty good at allowing for that time frame to for us to do that. But most of the, I guess, most of the contentious points come with the that have to do with style and structure. And it's because things like grammar, um, they're they're kind of a way that there are there's there are some core sets of what constitutes good grammar and syntax. And then there are finer points of style that, uh, tend to, uh, be debatable, and they vary across AP style to MLA to Chicago. And, um, everyone, because of their experience and anchoring bias, will have a particular leaning about what towards, you know, what they count to think is good style, whether it's including them or not. So a lot of times, I think in dealing with feedback, whether it's from the client indirectly, because we don't deal with the client directly, or, uh, through the line manager or trainer, and they call you out as the phrase goes for, um, you know, you got this wrong. This needs improvement. And, of course, you'd like to think as an expert in the field, uh, okay. Fine. I'm open to learning and improvement, but, you know, that, you know, that goes against my my understanding of what AP style is. And so I think we I had a little debate with my line manager about the use of the m dash. And that's as hot as it gets, and it's always a friendly conversation. But, um, I I think it's it's it's a funny thing that the most contentious bits have to do with the small minor details as opposed to substandard content. And, again, because the stakes are so big with content, it's either gonna be I know how to do this or I don't know how to do this, or or maybe I I might have missed something case when a points it out or the final editor points it out. It's usually in a good way. You know, great response except you missed this aspect or this aspect isn't with the theory you've you've outlined. Fine. Great. Those good catches, and and I don't mind those. But the smaller thing produce the more interesting conversations.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: It's interesting to hear about the nuanced challenges you face, especially in the realm of style and structure. Given the importance of these details, how do you ensure that your team stays updated and aligned on the evolving standards, such as those related to style guides like AP or Chicago?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Question. Thank you, uh, Merp AI. Uh, so let me just compare it to my other employer, um, where there is they have a very laissez faire or loose fitting way of of, um, of monitoring the the reviewers. And, basically, it's almost I don't know how they they they judge the quality of the reviewers. I don't know if they call reviewers out and say you can no longer work on this project. But what's great about Outlier is that, um, uh, at least the team I work on and I I will emphasize. So there's there's thousands of contractors that work for them. But I've been able to slot myself into a small team where I was part of a final editing team for one of their big clients. And it was a it was a team of about 10 of us that were reviewing the final the the reviewing the final responses before they went to the client to make estimates for them. Um, and what's great about the process is that it there's always open open lines of communication, whether it's through something like or whether it's through email. And, uh, training managers are more than happy to jump on a call with you, uh, if they have the time to do so. What's great about outlier is that, um, during that project, they were having at least once a week meetings between the reviewers to get everybody on board to see what what the pain points were, what are some of the problems, how can we be consistent on it. So what we do is basically having a transparent open form of communication. People who are mediating the the lines of communication are not only up to speed on, you know, what whatever the criteria are, but also open and communicate that helps things move along.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: It's clear that effective communication and regular team meetings play a crucial role in maintaining consistency and quality. How do you see the role of AI evolving in the context of your work, particularly in terms of assisting with style and structure checks to reduce the subjectivity involved?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yeah. I'm fine with that. I mean, I think I used to be used to Grammarly. I'm an academic, um, humanities based, and, you know, I have a and a doctorate in philosophy. So I just like to think of myself and that I'm pretty careful with my writing. Of course, that's not the case because writing's a multidimensional task for humans. We have to think about content and grammars at different times. Some of it's automatic. Sometimes we miss it because writing is a process of thinking things. You might change the sentence of a sentence mid thought because, um, so I'm fine with AI being aware of different, um, kinds of styles and being able to shift between them. So if the prompt says something like, edit this doc document for MLA style, not edit this doc style, great. Um, it might put some proofreaders, then proofreaders might be able to focus more on substantive content and logical consistency, things with which AI are isn't necessarily good at. You know, from my experience, AI just lacks in the ability to discuss the tail, to see the interrelation between conceptual details and details, and it tends to be very poor with context. Um, it's getting better obviously depending on the on the datasets it's trained on. But fine if AI can focus on style and formatting things that are of a technical nature in terms of the writing process. Um, my only worry about that is that, um, it might make humans a little bit lazy when it comes to being able to form those kinds of thoughts and relations. And, of course, the the knock on thought, which I can only speak to anecdotally, is that it might change the way in which our brain processes information so that we become more reliant on AI to do these kinds of things. Whereas, um, um, I think it's important that humans are well rounded in in terms of both, um, technical expertise and practicing that as well as being able to do the other theoretical things as well. And the analogy I would give probably has to do something with, um, uh, you know, you can't write poetry just thinking about, uh, the great ideas or whatever the the sort of flourishing content. You have to be able to practice, and you have to see with grammar, syntax, and knowing how those things work.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your perspective on the evolving role of AI in writing and the balance between technical assistance and human skill development is quite insightful. Given your experience with both qualitative research and technical writing, how do you approach the integration of complex technical concepts into more accessible, non-technical content, and can you provide an example of how you've successfully achieved this in your work?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yeah. Outside my work as, um, a RLHF contractor, I am a, um, research I'm a well, before I was when when cryptocurrency was doing quite well, I was head of research and a technical writer for an outfit called 1.2 Labs, which was, which is it still exists, but it's sort of in dormancy, um, which it was out, uh, the cryptocurrency research branch of a cryptocurrency. What's it called? Uh, not venture capital, but, um, hedge fund. And, uh, before the the collapse of FTX, uh, we had quite a few projects lined up, and I'd worked on 2 already as a technical writer and both completely outside my remit. But the the person hired me who's who's colleague of mine, an academic colleague of mine, um, said, you know, you don't have to know anything about cryptocurrency, but given your skill sets, that that'll be good because the way you work is that when you don't know something, you research it from the inside out. And then what's great about that is you don't assume any kind of understanding in the reader. So So in other words, when you write something, you're writing it in a way that you're explaining it to the beginner who is yourself. So that's actually a virtue of coming to something that's new as long as it's not totally outside my ability to understand. So with blockchain technology and cryptocurrency, I was able to do that on the first project. And on the second project, it dealt with blockchain technology and the distribution of AI compute power across a distributed network. So that was totally new to me, but I was able to do the research based upon the client's extensive notes. Um, the the notes were designed by their research team. I I worked with the head of research in getting the document to a white and light paper. And so, basically, what I would do is I would just look at things very carefully, slowly, and minutely and see how well concepts are explained and if a beginner can understand it. So the the balance is, can a beginner understand it, and is it technically correct, and is it enticing in terms of a marketing document? So those three things. The 4th one, cryptocurrency is is it legal in terms of SEC and EU law? So in other words, is this not a security? So those are the 4 things I had to balance in this particular project. And it was it was difficult, um, that to meet with different teams from the client on on a regular basis and work with the head of research. It was actually very nice, 2 PhDs, wonderful to work with, extremely smart. Uh, and by the end of the exercise, uh, by the end of our contract, he thought my work was stellar. And, um, I thought, great. Great foundation to build on. Then we're gonna get some of the clients. I'm gonna write some great technical pay papers and light papers, and then FTX crashed. And then all the projects we had lined up said, oh, no money. Um, so, uh, that's the way I work with technical com, uh, content is I just get from the inside out and always bear in mind who am I explaining to while I'm explaining to myself as a beginner. And I love creating that kind of tight, coherent, and compelling document, which touches on technical expertise and consistency as well as accessibility to a general user and as well as billing in terms of a product. It's trying to, uh, uh, that's trying to sell a value proposition to an investor or to a potential customer.\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Your approach to breaking down complex technical concepts for a beginner audience while ensuring technical accuracy and market appeal is quite impressive. How do you see the role of AI in the future of technical writing, particularly in terms of automating the research and initial draft stages, and what aspects of the writing process do you think will remain distinctly human?  \n\n', "Interviewee: Yeah. It's a interesting dilemma. On the research side, AI has improved. There's just a lot of times where you'll enter a research question and give it to a chatbot and get the right answer. But, um, there are a couple of problems. 1, it'll often get the wrong answer, and it and I've worked with chatbots that have just been terrible with simple computation problems. And these are tend to be the free versions or the prototype versions we get, um, you know, working as a RLHF contractor trainer. Um, so the issue is that that that that has increased with accuracy. And then the other thing, which I know some chatbots do, is they have to source their material because otherwise, humans it'll be very difficult for humans to corroborate, uh, the the answer. And if it's difficult to do that, unfortunately, humans just won't bother with it, especially students. They're not gonna bother to do the the second layer of research to figure out whether or not the AI is correct. So, uh, the integration of the research with the AI response has to include links to the research. And in that way, it could be a research tool. Um, bit of a cheat from my perspective, but I understand with technology, that's how it goes. But then the other end of that is just because it's providing the correct research doesn't mean it's providing the comprehension. And the comprehension's on the human side. It's not on the AI side because AI can't comprehend or understand anything. So the the task of human writing is to be able to take that tech bridge and integrate it in a way for the person writing. They have to understand it. There's no better way to understand it than to articulate the research, incorporate the research as an articulated product through thought and through speech. 2nd side, of course, is for the understanding of, does it make sense to the reader? Uh, so I I think on the side of on the side of the relation between AI and humans, because it's gonna come down to AI is gonna provide a lot of the bulk of the the heavy lifting in terms of research. But in terms of the ability to make it communicable, detailed, and understanding in a way that meets specific human needs is something that probably only I can understand. Now what AI tends to do very well that humans don't do well is the general summary. So, um, you may ask me a question about what I think about something, but you as an AI are gonna say, that's great. You're gonna get me of what I said. That's probably gonna be better than how I put it. And that's because humans, as they think, uh, as I speak, are in a process of thinking. So he so AI is very good at taking all that content and summarizing it into bullet points and so forth or taking a 500, uh, word paragraph and summarizing it in 10 words or something like that. Um, humans tend not to be very good with that except at the second level where they have different artifacts that summarize, and they can they can make a comparison and judgment about what's better. Of course, we do that as r RLHF trainers, and that goes back into your dataset. So I think it's gonna be kind of I think the the the most the best case scenario is it's a, uh, it's a virtuous relationship where humans are using AI as part of integrated research, and AI is not doing the writing. As it stands now, it's very easy, at least from my perspective, when dealing with my own subject matter to tell when AI has written a document about philosophy or about English literature. It just doesn't have the depth or understanding.\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Thanks for taking the time to interview with us! The time allotted for our interview has come to an end.

Candidate B Transcript:
{'pairs': [['Interviewer: Hello and welcome to the AI interview! This interview will consist of basic questions about your background as well as some high-level questions about the skills you listed on your application. Ensure that you minimize long pauses during your responses, otherwise you may be cut off prematurely. Are you ready to start the interview? \n', 'Interviewee: Yes.\n\n'], ["Interviewer: Great! I see from your resume that you've worked on a variety of television and film projects, including the World of Warcraft animated series. Can you walk me through the process of developing a concept for a new series, from the initial idea to the pitch stage?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Sure. So you start out, with a concept. Usually, it's a theme. From there, you move on to, coming up with some characters. And you place those characters in a world. And with World of Warcraft, you had a world that already existed, so you could start with using all of the Warcraft races, characters and, sides and factions, to help create the whole process. And then once you sort of have these characters working, you can come then sort of come up with the, the mission of the show and then you create your pitch deck and you pitch it.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: That's a comprehensive overview. When it comes to character development, how do you ensure that the characters are not only compelling but also fit within the established lore of a franchise like World of Warcraft?  \n\n", "Interviewee: You work with people who are very aware of the, and familiar with the, the brand that you're working with. Also, you do a lot of research, and, whether that's reading or watching things, to become familiar with the the brand itself. And then also you create characters that feel like real people. Just because they're an orc doesn't mean that they don't have thoughts and feelings. And then you give them all a want, which is sort of the biggest thing in writing in characters. Is, giving them something to sort of go after and then an obstacle in front of them.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Given the importance of maintaining a character's depth and motivation, how do you approach the writing process to ensure that these wants and obstacles are not only clear to the audience but also evolve over the course of a series?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Well, that is where planning comes in. That's where, it's called, you sort of think that the outline is for an individual script, but you also sort of build what you call the arc of the series. And in that, it's sort of you look at the series as a whole and kind of plot out your character wands over the course of the series. And then when you're working on individual episodes, you make sure that you address that so you're sort of moving the character across the, game board. For lack of a better term, to get to the end result at the end of the season.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: It's clear you have a strong grasp of both character development and series planning. Shifting focus a bit, could you discuss a specific challenge you faced while working on the World of Warcraft animated series and how you overcame it, particularly in terms of maintaining the brand's integrity while still introducing new elements?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Oh, sure. So when you're working with a brand that's established, it can be difficult because, again, they have sort of these, deep roots, that have, been out there, and your audience In a lot of shows, you don't have to worry about what the audience will think because you're telling them who these characters are. But with something with an established brand, they already know who these characters are. And then you also have this, vast canon, of established rules, of established history, and so that can be really difficult, to address. And so for me, I broke down all of these issues into smaller pieces. So I didn't feel like I had to tackle everything as a whole. I always had sort of smaller, goals and aims that I would hit for each character. And then I would also reach out to, people who worked there to make sure that I was still sort of aligning with, the brand voice. And the longer that I worked on it, the easier it was where I knew I was hitting the brand voice. Because now I had had, my own experience working there and working within the company.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your approach to breaking down the challenges into manageable pieces and leveraging internal expertise is insightful. Now, let's delve into the technical skills you've listed on your application, specifically screenwriting. Can you discuss a unique aspect of your screenwriting style that you believe sets your work apart?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Oh, sure. I think that, for me, screenwriting is a, very intuitive thing. I think of it as sort of I always refer to it as the beating heart. Plot is important, but your characters and who they are. People don't relate to plot They relate to people. And so all of my work is very care forward. Even if you can't relate to what's happening, you can always to who's on the screen. And even if that character is an orc or a squirrel, or, you know, a 72 year old alien or the sun. There's always something in it that's relatable and So\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Given your focus on character-driven narratives, how do you approach the initial stages of a new script to ensure that the characters are not only relatable but also capable of carrying the story forward in a compelling way?  \n\n', "Interviewee: that always goes back to the idea of outlining, making sure that your characters are sort of, pushing things forward. And for that, you really want active characters. You want characters who are not reacting to things, but are taking charge and making choices. And the reality is you also need to make sure sometimes those choices are incorrect because that's what makes it interesting and that's what makes it compelling is having those characters mess up a lot. That's also what makes it relatable. So, yes. So having those, like, active characters making choices, propels everything forward. To the end result.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: It's clear that your approach to character development and narrative drive is quite deliberate. Shifting focus to another skill you've listed, content development, how do you typically approach the process of developing content for a new project, and what role does audience analysis play in this process?  \n\n", "Interviewee: For content development, it's sort of thinking of, like, what is the the aim of the project. Are you trying to sell a story? Are you trying to sell a product? Are you trying to evoke a feeling? There's a lot of different, aims for content when you're producing that online. And, so that's sort of how I approach that. I forget what the second part of the of the question was.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: The second part was about the role of audience analysis in your content development process. How do you ensure that the content you're developing resonates with the intended audience, and do you have any specific strategies for gathering and incorporating audience feedback during the development phase?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Well, it's really tough. Generally, you don't have audience feedback during the development phase because you can sort of it's death by a 1000 paper cuts. Because not everybody is going to like everything. You can't have focus groups, but, it the really the key is sort of knowing your audience beforehand. And, making sure this is where things like theme and character play a great role. If you're writing for kids, making sure that like, the issues that are facing your characters are relatable to kids. The reality is your audience is going to have some some sort of through time with some some different outlooks in the sense of the technology will change and the language will change, but the feelings don't change. And so if you make sure to sort of adhere to those themes and your characters having these relatable moments, your audience will come along.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Given the challenges of incorporating audience feedback during development, how do you personally validate whether the content you've developed is resonating with the intended audience, especially for a project with a significant lead time before release?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Again, it goes back to this idea of of themes. There are sort of only so many themes out there. And, you know, a kid feeling left out or, you know, a bad breakup, it doesn't matter if you're in the year 2048 or you're in 1790 2. The feelings of those are always going to resonate with your audience. The other thing is, you know, sometimes there are new challenges that audiences face. And so a lot of that is research. A lot of that is going online, going to where your audience will be hanging out, whether that's looking at Reddit or looking at TikTok or you know, finding these sort of niche niche places, and sort of listening to how they talk, listening or watching, sort of what they watch, know, your audience may have, like, specific, shows that they enjoy. So, like, watch those shows and try to figure out, like, oh, what is it that they're relating to this? And I think what a lot of places get wrong is they get hung up on the stuff versus the feeling because the audience wants to feel something. That's why they always come back.\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Your focus on the universality of themes and the importance of understanding how and where your audience engages is insightful. Shifting back to your screenwriting skill, could you discuss a specific technique or tool you use to ensure that the pacing of your scripts is engaging and effective, especially in terms of balancing character development with plot progression?  \n\n', "Interviewee: Oh, sure. I think that a lot of that comes in the in the outline process, which is part of screenwriting even though it's not, like, technically sitting down and writing your screenplay. And, one of the things that I do personally is, once I'm sort of done crafting my outline is that I read it out loud. And reading it out loud, you can sort of tell where the lows hit. And when you're reading something, it's forcing you to engage with it. And so if you find that you're getting bored with it, then it's you know that it's boring and it needs more or the pace needs to pick up or there's there's a there's a point missing. So that's a technique that is super useful in making sure that, your pace, and timing and action is working But, honestly, over sort of the the course of my career, I've been doing this long enough where I can just I just know because it's my experience.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Reading the outline aloud is a great practical tip for assessing pacing. Given your experience, how do you handle situations where there's a difference of opinion on the pacing or structure of a script, particularly in a collaborative environment, and what strategies do you use to resolve such conflicts while maintaining the integrity of your vision for the project?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Well, it depends who's in charge. Usually, on every project, especially in television, there is one person in the writer's room who it's their vision. So if I am working for them, I may push my idea but I also will respect, I'll respect the boss unless I think it is something that is, actively harmful, and then I will stand my ground. If I am the boss, I will listen to feedback. I will even well, sometimes, it's called sort of pitching out. We'll pitch it out to sort of see where it ends up. And see, like, oh, maybe that is actually a a a better choice, but we need to sort of follow the story down the road a little bit. If the entire writer's room is agreeing, but, the brand or the, network is disagreeing, Sometimes, you know, we'll stand our ground. Sometimes, we'll we'll compromise. I usually I try to make everyone feel heard, because I think that's important. And, obviously, if they're bringing something up, there's a reason for it. But if I am the person in charge, I am also interested in always the best idea because if it's my name on it, then I get credit for it. But, but sometimes sort of the the I'll I'll let them pitch it out and follow their ideas down the road. And, generally, we can see then whether it's the better idea or not. So, again, willing to compromise because I'm only one brain, but also my level, of experience and knowledge is usually greater than lot of other people.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your approach to handling differences in a collaborative environment is very diplomatic and strategic. Now, let's dive into a more technical aspect of screenwriting. Could you explain how you use the three-act structure in your screenplays, and do you have any specific techniques for ensuring that each act serves its purpose effectively?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yes. Outline. Outline. Outline. You'll you'll know in the outline. That's why some people just will start writing, but your outline will tell you exactly, like, where you need to go. That's your road map. That's your skeleton, that you hang, your your tree your Christmas tree that you hang all of the ornaments on. So that that will sort of give you everything that you need to to go and do. Also, sometimes, breaking each act out and just, like, looking at one act at a time, can also, like, oh, is this enjoyable? Does this feel whole? Does this feel like there is a, a cliffhanger? There are certain screenwriting, tools. Some people use something called save the cat. I don't like to totally use it, but there are places where I think it's super useful, especially, when you talk about that, you know, act 2 dark knight at the soul, making sure that you kind of, hit those marks. Because what happens is that people sometimes, they just don't have anything kind of happen, and then it all happens at the end. And you wanna make sure that your your, your action is sort of plotted out, but that it still slowly grows over time. And that is, again, like, partially outlined and then, you know, looking at those active breaks to make sure that, it's getting to where you need to go. Also, I find that if you are having a problem with act 3, that means that you have a problem with act 1 because act 1 is sort of asking a question and act 3 should answer it. So if you can't answer it, chances are you probably weren't asking the correct question in act 1.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your emphasis on the importance of outlining and using the three-act structure as a guide is a solid approach. Given the complexity of the projects you've worked on, how do you manage the interplay between the overarching series plot and the individual episode plots to ensure a satisfying balance of closure and continuity for the audience?  \n\n", "Interviewee: That's a combo pack of you want to do something called it's called breaking the season. Which is essentially, I actually personally apply the 3 action structure of the outline to an entire season of episodes. So if I have a a 13 episode order, the first 3 episodes will be act 1, the last 3 will be act 2, and the 7 in the middle will be I'm sorry. The first 3 will be act 1. The last 3 will be act 3, and the 7 in the middle will be act 2. And then I sort of plot all of my, my characters need to be up here? Do they need to be down here? And then I sort of individually assign out kind of the plot, and the character wants and needs and obstacles in each episode. And then we individually outline those episodes. If I am working alone like I did on novel more, that's easier because it's all in my head and I've done it all. If I'm working with a writing staff then it's I sit down with the writers. I talk about sort of the issue. We may work on the outline together or I may give them the outline. And then, when they bring it back, I'll give appropriate notes And then there's probably a certain point where I will just go in and, do a do a quick polish ideally just to make sure that it's it's where it needs to be. And because I'm the boss, that's usually a pretty quick process. Again, because I've been doing it for a long time, and I'm the one ultimately responsible for the entire voice of the show.\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Your approach to structuring a season as a three-act narrative is a unique and effective way to maintain a cohesive story arc. Given the dynamic nature of the entertainment industry, how do you stay updated with the latest trends and audience preferences to ensure that your content remains relevant and engaging?  \n\n', "Interviewee: Oh, that's a good one. I don't I mean, I do. The problem is that whatever the audience is watching currently, it's gonna change in a year to 2 years. But whatever I'm working on now won't come out for a year to 2 years. So trying to chase what the audience is currently doing is not helpful. You do wanna sort of be forward thinking, this is where it helps to really know who your audience is Are you writing for kids? Are you writing for bridge? Are you writing for tweens? And then looking at kind of the emotional issues that your audience faces, and then writing towards that. Because the thing is once you're project, once your series is ready to be pitched, or once your screenplay is done, you can kinda go back and put in the kind of, things that will make it more current. But, you can't chase and what the audience is looking for right this very minute. Because, again, by the time your stuff comes out, it'll feel old. Because it will be 2 years out of date because that's, you know, the minimum it takes. To, get something from idea or script stage to out there. The audience to see.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your perspective on staying true to the core emotional issues that resonate with your target audience, rather than chasing current trends, is a valuable insight. Now, let's shift our focus back to your screenwriting skill. Could you discuss a specific technique or tool you use to ensure that the dialogue in your scripts is both natural and serves the story effectively?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Sure. I've listened to a lot of people talk. That's super useful. Everywhere I go, I'm doing research And, you can sometimes you know, if you're worried about slang, just being online and sort of, like, against seeing where your target audience is hanging out and then, like, listening to them, or seeing what their talking about. But, again, that sort of falls out of favor pretty quickly, so I don't like to rely on that. The other thing to make dialogues sound natural is you read it out loud. And reading your, your screenplay out loud, even if you're doing all the parts, or sometimes you can, like, host a what's called a table read and have your your friends read it, really gives you the sense of what it sounds like, and does it sound like people talk. Or those characters, how they talk?\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Thanks for taking the time to interview with us! The time allotted for our interview has come to an end.

{'pairs': [['Interviewer: Hello and welcome to the AI interview! This interview will consist of basic questions about your background as well as some high-level questions about the skills you listed on your application. Ensure that you minimize long pauses during your responses, otherwise you may be cut off prematurely. Are you ready to start the interview? \n', 'Interviewee: Yes. I am ready to start the interview.\n\n'], ['Interviewer: Great! I see from your resume that you\'ve developed a web application called "Leetcode Rating Predictor." Can you walk me through how you utilized Redis for real-time updates in this application, and why you chose Redis over other databases for this specific feature?  \n\n', "Interviewee: So, uh, so in, uh, late code rating predictor, I used, uh, ready for my for, uh, added database. And, uh, there is a no SQL data database means it is flexible in storing data, and, uh, also, we don't need expensive join to, uh, calculate to without the expenditure join and data cost is reduced to. And we could reduce over other solution for its simplicity, its speed, and its scalability. Its in memory nature makes it incredibly fast for read and write operation, which is crucial for real time update in a web application. Additionally, there is offer variant that I took just in features like personal messaging, which makes it well suited for our needs in handling real time updates efficiently. Overall, they provide a best solution for real time data needs in the code data product.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: That's a comprehensive explanation, thank you. Given your emphasis on the in-memory nature of Redis for real-time updates, how did you manage data persistence and ensure the reliability of the real-time updates in your application, considering Redis is primarily an in-memory data store?  \n\n", 'Interviewee: Yes. So, uh, data persistence and, uh, it is very important, uh, in our application or any real time application. And, also, we need, uh, real time capability in, uh, any application. And so it is very important. And the in lead co predictive detector, we ensure data persistence and reliability by implementing a combination of strategy. 1 is the regular data backup. We regularly bagged up data from Redis to a more persistent storage solution, such as relational database or distributed file system. This ensured that even if Redis has been data loss or failure, we could recover the data from the backup. Snap sorting and persistent. Also, the display option for snapshotting where it periodically write the dataset to disk and persistent, where it continuously logs changes to disk. By configuring there is with appropriate snapshotting and persistent setting, we ensure that data was saved to take regularly that minimize the risk of data loss in case of a system. This also supports\n\n'], ['Interviewer: I appreciate the detailed insight into your data persistence and reliability strategy. Shifting focus a bit, let\'s discuss the "Leetcode Rating Predictor" search functionality. How did you optimize the search feature, especially considering the potentially large dataset of user profiles and contest information?  \n\n', "Interviewee: So, uh, so to implement the search feature in a in the database, I you will, uh, has map to to reduce the to make the searching edge part as possible because it the, uh, has map takes a big of, uh, a rate of big of 1 complexity, which makes it very hard to get the data. Also, we apply indexing to optimize search performance, especially for live dataset. For user profile, we index relevant fields such as username, skill set, and rating. And similarly, for context, we index field like contact name, tags, start, end date. And so indexing helps speed up search query by allowing the database to quickly locate relevant world. Feeding full text search. We implemented full text search capability using tools like Elasticsearch. Datoot allow for advanced search functionality, such as Fuzzy marking, synonym marking, and element encoding. Also, to analyze data set effectively, we implemented pagination to limit the number of search details returned per page. This not only improved performance by reducing the amount of data offered over the network, but also enhanced the user experience by presenting search data in manageable chunks. Also, for computationally intensive search operation outside that requires querying multiple data source, we implemented asynchronous processing. This involved offloading search tag to background work across separate microservice to prevent blocking the main application thread and improving risk. So by implementing this technique, we've been able to provide users with an effective search feature and lead code editor, uh, which allow them to quickly find and access relevant user profiles and context even with potentially live interface.\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Your use of hash maps for fast data retrieval and indexing for search optimization is quite strategic. Regarding the background workers or separate microservices for asynchronous processing, how did you handle the coordination and monitoring of these services to ensure the search functionality remains efficient and responsive?  \n\n', "Interviewee: So, uh, background workers and separate, uh, microservices for different task are very important because, uh, this help in offloading the task, uh, to to different services. In late quality projector, we ensured efficient and responsive site functionality by carefully managing the coordination and monitoring the background workers or to create Microsoft for asynchronous processing. Here is how we handle it. Start queue. We'll start to search as, uh, ready to sign the message broker to manage a synchronous task. Whenever search request was received, we added it to the task queue where background worker on microservices picked it up for processing. We also implemented load balancing to distribute search request evenly across multiple background virtual or microservices. This prevented any single worker from becoming overwhelmed with the high volume of search request. We also reconfigure our infrastructure to automatically scale up or scale down the number of background workers or microservices on the workload. This dynamic scaling allowed us to handle fluctuation inside traffic efficiently while optimizing resource, utilization, and call. We also implemented comprehensive monitoring and logging solution to track the performance and health of background workers and Microsoft services. This include metrics such as response time, error rate, and resource utilization. We set up alerting mechanism to notify us of any performance degradation or failures in the background because of microservices. So this allowed us to proactively address any issue before the affected the size of and responsiveness. We constantly optimize the performance of background workers on microservices by fine tuning their configuration, optimizing query acquisition, and also improving resource utilization. So by implementing the measure, we ensure that the coordination and monitoring of background workers are separate microservices for asynchronous processing where we work, allowing us to maintain efficient and responsive size functionality in lead code rating.\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Your approach to managing background workers and microservices is quite thorough. Shifting focus to a different project you mentioned on your resume, "Tubelight," the open-source JavaScript library. Could you describe the design principles that guided the development of Tubelight, particularly in terms of ensuring both functionality and ease of use for other developers?  \n\n', 'Interviewee: Uh, so so to, uh, so in to light, I implemented various data structures such as link list, uh, link list, hash map, priority queues, and the joint state. And I would object oriented programming principle to guide the design of the implementation.\n\n'], ["Interviewer: Given the emphasis on object-oriented principles in Tubelight's design, how did you ensure the efficiency of these data structure implementations in JavaScript, especially considering the language's single-threaded, non-blocking I/O nature?  \n\n", "Interviewee: So, uh, so to implement so to make the implementation effective in the 2 light, uh, data structures, uh, I covered all the educators that can lead to, uh, bad performance. Also also, since, uh, since JavaScript is a single thread, uh, application, uh, I utilized, um, workers to efficiently manage the I think workers and asynchronous programming to manage the, uh, interactivity, uh, primarily a single headed language. Oops. Can still be achieved by following key principle and patterned. Encapsulation with delayed data and behavior within object, viewed closures and private variable to encapsulate internally and expose only necessary metrics of pattern. Also viewed abstracts and which had implementation details and provide a clear interface for interacting with object. We use method and property to extract our complex logic and provide a simple interface for other parts of the code to interact with. Also, inheritance, although JavaScript doesn't support classifying inheritance like some other language, we can still achieve inheritance to prototype training or object completion. JavaScript also support 1 morphism to dynamic typing and dark typing. Object can achieve a different behavior based on their type for the method they implemented. Also, we favored competition over other in items to promote code view and maintain maintainability, With based on complex, we have it into smaller, more manageable component and composed object by combining these smaller component. Also, we design patterns such as factory, singleton, object and modular pattern. These patterns provide open solution to common problems in OOP and can be effectively applied in JavaScript. Also, I wrote unit tech to ensure the correctness and the work of the algorithm implemented. State driven development can help drive the design of our object and ensure they meet the requirement effectively. So by following these principles and pattern, we ensure that the object will enter programming in JavaScript even within its single threaded nature.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your strategic use of design patterns and principles in a single-threaded language like JavaScript is quite impressive. How did you handle the testing and ensure the reliability of Tubelight's functionality, especially given the complexities of managing asynchronous operations and worker threads in your library?  \n\n", 'Interviewee: So, um, in in a single threaded language like JavaScript, uh, man efficiently managing the load is very important because, uh, if we do not handle it, the thread can be blocked, which will affect the performance of other systems, others or other algorithm working alongside. So in, uh, we wrote unit test for individual components, content, and classes, uh, which cover both synchronous and asynchronous code path, including scenarios involving worker thread. We model synchronous operation and worker trail to actuate the unit test on the deck and ensure their behavior was consistent. Also, we perform integration tech to verify the interaction between different modules or components within our project. This included taking the integration of asynchronous operation and worker trade with the rest of the system. We use tools like, uh, Cypress for end to end testing to simulate real world user scenario and ensure seamless integration. We also ensure to ensure the reliability of asynchronous processing and worker trade, we conduct conducted concurrency testing. This involved testing the system with multiple concurrent request or task to identify and address any risk condition, deadlock, or synchronization issues. We systematically detected error handling and recovery mechanism for asynchronous operations and work. This included intentionally triggering error, time out, or failures in different part of the system to validate error handling strategy and ensure a graceful recovery. We also detected scenarios where worker threats were terminated abruptly to verify that the system could recover and redeem normal operation without data loss or corruption. We also set up, uh, so by following the detecting strategy, we were able to ensure that the reliability of our project functionality even in the presence of asynchronous operation and worker trade. Regulatory and continuous integration practices helped us identify and address issues early, leading to a more robust and reliable application overall.\n\n'], ["Interviewer: Your approach to testing, especially with concurrency and error handling scenarios, is quite thorough. How do you envision leveraging Web Workers or other browser features to further enhance Tubelight's performance, considering its focus on managing asynchronous operations in JavaScript?  \n\n", 'Interviewee: So, uh, so web workers, uh, web workers and asynchron programming can be very important, uh, to optimize the efficiency, uh, of any web application.

Optimize algorithm complexity, ensuring that the algorithm will be in our background to tell anything.\n\n'], ['Interviewer: Given the potential for leveraging Web Workers in Tubelight, how do you plan to manage data sharing and communication between the main thread and the worker threads to ensure efficient use of resources and minimize overhead?  \n\n', 'Interviewee: to manage data steering and communication between different Trader it it is very important because we have to because since this is a single threaded and we are utilizing worker trade and asynchronous operation. We need some method to share the data. and and and and it is crucial for instance resource utilization and minimizing over it.

Candidate B Transcript:
{'pairs': [['Interviewer: Hello and welcome to the AI interview! This interview will consist of basic questions about your background as well as some high-level questions about the skills you listed on your application. Ensure that you minimize long pauses during your responses, otherwise you may be cut off prematurely. Are you ready to start the interview? \n', 'Interviewee: Hello. Hello.\n\n'], ["Interviewer: Great to have you here. I see from your resume that you've had experience with legal research using LexisNexis and Westlaw. Can you discuss a specific project where your research on these platforms was crucial to the outcome?  \n\n", 'Interviewee: Platforms was crucial to the outcomes of the specific targets that I had to make.\n\n'], ['Interviewer: That sounds like a valuable experience. Could you elaborate on the process you used to ensure the accuracy and relevance of the information you found on LexisNexis and Westlaw for these targets?  \n\n', "Interviewee: Yeah. So many of the projects that I had, for example, when I was writing a legal essay that was further published into my comment, a lot of the information that I had to use from were case studies legal briefs, different types of legal materials where having, like, this mess LexisNexis and Westlaw were essential, specifically in the form of finding codes, regulations, that type of information. And without it, I needed, to bolster, so kinda having Lexus nest eggs and Westlaw were essential to the publication of my article and a lot of the legal work that I have done since graduating law school from helping draft certain contracts from writing different memos. So it's been an important component in learning how to use the powerful systems.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: It's clear that you've integrated these research tools effectively into your work. Shifting focus a bit, could you describe a particularly challenging aspect of using Zotero for organizing and managing your research materials, and how you overcame it?  \n\n", 'Interviewee: Yeah. So specifically with Zotero, using it as, like, a a a tracker of a lot of my sources for different citations, things like that. It was the beginning, the biggest challenge was just learning how to use the software and then implementing it correctly within my research category or a collection of sources that I could input into whatever work product I was creating. For example, writing a legal research article incorporating the sources correctly, and the formatting of all of that, kinda more of the back end stuff. But overall, I was able to become pretty proficient with Zotero.\n\n'], ["Interviewer: It's great to hear how you've adapted to using Zotero effectively. Now, moving on to your experience at Small Business Utility Advocates, could you detail a specific instance where the policy recommendations you drafted led to a tangible change in regulatory procedures?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yeah. Absolutely. So one of the key functions that I have in this position is, reviewing different regulations that are kind of put out by the California Public Utilities Commission. And then through research, through different means of using, primary sources, secondary sources, and tertiary sources. What we do is kind of think about how this is gonna affect small businesses within primarily California, but more specifically within San Francisco area. In the Bay Area. And, one of the primary key results that I've been able to see through my work is, California is implementing a new, kind of regulatory rule making authority where they're looking for public comment and feedback, and I'm working on that and using the tertiary secondary sources, I've been able to, draft recommendations of how small business utility advocates should comment to the administrative law judge to make sure our clients, small businesses within the Bay Area, are adequately represented. And in doing so, they've been able to incorporate some of that feedback into the draft rule making. And though it's not published, a lot of the suggestions I've made have been kind of instituted and implemented within the draft rule making that will be for the proposed later\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Your work on influencing regulatory procedures is quite impactful. Shifting focus back to your legal research skills, how do you approach the process of synthesizing information from a variety of sources to form a cohesive argument or recommendation, and could you provide an example of this in practice?  \n\n', "Interviewee: Yes. I can. So one of the primary ways that I think about collecting and collating large amounts of information resources is you know, tracking that information, making sure I know my question, making sure I know my project, and then kinda annotating when I need to different avenues for collecting that information. So making sure I know within these 6 different rule making authorities or within these 6 different procedures, I can quickly kind of format, understand, annotate, I have an idea of where that information is, and then I'm able to kind of incorporate that within whatever writing component I might have. For example, I'm drafting a memo, I have all my sources within the document. I have my central questions, and then I can kind of start from a more broader point of view. And then as I write kind of narrow the question and within scope. So I've been able to do that through legal memos. Through my comments publication, through when I was a contract drafting attorney within the transactional world, a lot of that was germane going through different contracts to incorporate the necessary language within that contract. It was a key component of what I did, and how I was able to create legal effective work, and that was you know, making sure I had my sources, understanding the broader questions and themes. And then as I write, become more specific, using those sources and the question that I had in mind to answer for a client.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your approach to managing and utilizing sources for different legal contexts is quite thorough. Now, I'd like to delve into the technical skills you've listed on your application. Could you explain a complex feature or function within Microsoft Office Suite that you've utilized in a professional setting, and the specific benefits it provided in that context?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yeah. So within Word, understanding the macro programs. So the formatting features, the functions, being able to use word on a high level is more than just being able to write text within the document. It's it's understanding how to quickly and efficient be organized documents, to make it appear nicer and more organized. And that goes from formatting 80 page papers using citations, all the robust functions within Word. But this also extends to PowerPoint, for example, understanding a lot of the macro features in PowerPoint to create a adequate presentation where it's organized You have your notes. You have the presentation. It's not too cluttered or clogged. And while I have good working knowledge of Excel, well, it is not close to the what I think the powers and capabilities are of itself, but I'm much more proficient within PowerPoint and within Word. And specifically within Word, making sure I know how to format organize documents, and all of the, powerful macro feed functions within that.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your use of macros in Word and PowerPoint is indeed a high-level application of those tools. Given your experience with legal research and the tools you've mentioned, how do you see the role of AI and machine learning evolving in the field of legal research, and what steps do you think should be taken to ensure the ethical use of AI in this context?  \n\n", "Interviewee: I think it is absolutely part and parcel of legal research and kind of the incorporation of AI within legal research is super important. It's part and parcel to it. I see them kind of blending together and enhancing as a lawyer. As an attorney, the powers and functions and capabilities of my legal research. So it shouldn't be something that's shunned or something that shouldn't be used. It should be used to augment the capabilities of an attorney. So I think within the form of legal research, there's boundless capacity for it to be kind of incorporated, and I kinda wanna be on the edge of that because I think it's super important. For example, you know, if I'm researching, a case law, I can do a lot of my case law reading and review. However, that, you know, that's time consuming if I am able to use AI to more accurately track the cases that I need to use for regulatory compliance within a specific circuit within a specific district that's great. But if I'm able to draw more cases, with using AI, that's even better, and I think it'll help strengthen attorneys' legal research and writing capabilities.\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Given your perspective on the integration of AI in legal research, how do you think the current tools like LexisNexis and Westlaw could be enhanced with AI to provide even more value to legal professionals, and what specific features would you like to see in such an enhanced tool?  \n\n', "Interviewee: I think it can be more accurate in the sense of instead of giving you so many cases, they can give you less cases, more specific to the functions of what's happening. For example, if I type in energy regulation, within the Northern District of California, it'll pull up many different cases, some that are not germane But if you can classify the cases further, you know, if I'm looking for something within, electrical compliance instead of pulling up cases just related to energy compliance. They can pull up cases that are associated with electrical compliance and EV charging. Or it can pull up cases that, are tangentially related to that. So I think the biggest thing in AI is ensuring the accuracy and train of thought versus accuracy within word recognition, whereas the word electric or energy and it pulls up that case as opposed to understanding a deeper idea of what the case is about to incorporate that into the research algorithm would be super important.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your insights into the potential for AI to improve the specificity and relevance of search results in legal research are quite valuable. Shifting back to your experience with transactional law and due diligence, could you explain a particularly challenging aspect of due diligence in the context of Mergers and Acquisitions that you've encountered, and how you addressed it?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yes. Absolutely. One of the most significant challenges is just ensuring that you've reviewed all of the relevant paperwork, documents, understanding if there's any title commitments or title issues within a merger and an acquisition. When you're, you know, working on an m and a case, for example, making sure there's not a section where within one of previous contracts that they have to get approval, and and it's just a lot of it's understanding the the meta analysis and kind of the the meta ideas and previous iterations of contracts, not just the current version you're working for. So for example, if you're working for a current entity, and that current entity was owned by 3 others understanding those contracts and the provisions that are still operable into the current contract and understanding who you need to get approval from, understanding the different contract components that kind of inhibit certain entity requirements if there's a voter shareholder or there's, different terms or ideas that are used the previous iterations of contracts, making sure they follow the same streamline of thought. Also, an an m and a is just working with, opposing counsel and understanding that you don't want to inhibit a relationship, but you also wanna represent the clients in the best of your ability. Understanding what to give up and what to give opposing counsel. In terms of drafting an adequate contract that, you know, makes both parties happy. So I'd say the 2 biggest challenges are understanding the previous contract iterations when you're doing due diligence to make sure you're crossing your t's and dotting your i's, making sure a lot of the work is, you know, legal germane and also adhering to previous contracts. So it's not opening up the client to any liability, but also working with your current client to make sure that they are not you know, giving too much of it in their interest.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your explanation of the challenges in due diligence for Mergers and Acquisitions is quite detailed. Now, considering your experience with contract drafting, how do you approach the task of ensuring that the language in a contract is both legally sound and clearly understood by all parties involved, and could you provide an example of a strategy you've used to achieve this balance?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yeah. Certainly. So one of the most important things within contract drafting is just ensuring brevity and conciseness. And know, there's accuracy within precision. So a lot of contract draft strategy that I use is taking a template contract, understanding what The main point of contention and the goal is ensuring that you're writing using specific words within shorter sentences that convey that thought and idea. There's no need for an 80 page contract as something could be done in 10. Understanding that all the key provisions are in there, and they're adequately addressed to the point. So I think the best contract drafting strategy is to be sure, precise with brevity. So that is one of the primary things within my contract drafting strategies.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your focus on brevity and precision in contract drafting is a valuable approach. Now, considering your experience with regulatory procedures, how do you stay updated on the changes in regulations, and could you describe a specific tool or method you use to ensure you're aware of these changes in a timely manner?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yeah. It's a lot. It's through AI AI systems that send me news blast letters. I keep updated through LexisNexis through Westlaw. And within regulatory compliance where it's sending me different issues, day to day ideas, and changes within case law. And that's the primary tool I use, but also through the work that I do, a lot of it is updated daily. So I'm reading new rule making ideas. New public comments, kind of ideas like that. So I would say the way I say updated is through adequate information that's through news blast, through my work, just kind of ensuring that I'm I'm staying up to date with the regulations that are coming through. And the regulatory compliance ideas that are coming through through newsletters and through my work.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: It's clear that you have a comprehensive approach to staying updated on regulatory changes. Shifting back to your experience with legal research, how do you evaluate the credibility of sources, especially in emerging areas of law, and could you provide an example of a strategy you've used to ensure the reliability of such sources?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yeah. So ensuring the credibility of sources can come through. Several different ways. One of the primary ways that I look at is it's through you know, if we're looking at sources through primary means, ensuring that this study was conducted adequately, ensuring that it's being used in the appropriate manner. It doesn't wanna be know, kind of some nebulous idea, but is it actually stating an idea in our opinion? Then kinda taking a step back from that, has this source been used in other components? Like, if it's being used in legal cases, if it's an expert witness, then it's gonna attach more credibility to that idea. But even diving more into the background of that idea, I think, is important. In establishing the credibility of a source. But if it's just kind of more of a writing source, you gotta be careful with it. You gotta under you know, you gotta trust that if it's coming through a newspaper article, you gotta research the idea, the the journalist making sure that it's intellectually sound. So you know, if it's used in the legal context, it gives you more leeway as opposed to something that you just find on the Internet that's the source. So in assessing credibility, you gotta be you gotta be discriminatory in the way that you use it, understanding the ins and outs, the intellectual ideas, and going back to the root of it to really make sure it's credible at the end of the day.\n\n"], ["Interviewer: Your approach to evaluating the credibility of sources, especially in the legal context, is quite thorough. Now, considering your experience with drafting expert testimony, how do you ensure that the complex legal concepts are presented in a clear and compelling manner, and could you describe a specific technique or tool you've used to achieve this clarity and persuasiveness?  \n\n", "Interviewee: Yes. So going back to making sure you understand the idea of you gotta understand the broader idea of what you're drafting in the persuasive brief. For example, I used some draft expert testimony for water rights in Louisiana, and I would talk with the scientific experts that were way above my expertise, but I had to incorporate you know, our legal positioning with their super dense scientific terms and ideologies. So it's making sure I understand understand what our key position is. Understanding what they're saying, understanding the nexus between what they're saying and that correlates to our position, stripping away the extraneous information that they provide, to help narrowly focus in within our legal goals and that's kind of the best way to do it. It's to understand the idea of what we have, you know, the broad issue, the idea, the specific component of what we need, and finding the information within an expert witness that scientific and kinda tying that into our very specific legal goal. And that's kind of the best strategy that I've been able to use.\n\n"], ['Interviewer: Thanks for taking the time to interview with us! The time allotted for our interview has come to an end.
