The podcasters dig into Ralph's post on how digital systems can be erased of certain content, easier in some ways than Orwell's memory holing of printed material, and more difficult, since the Internet remembers everything. The Internet Archive and content replication on the net preserves, but may not be easy to find, especially with filtering firewalls. The discussion includes the psychological impact of information being difficult to find, or untrusted. The podcasters conclude with steps to strengthen our psychological resilience.

Not quite AGI, the podcasters discussed the feeling of "qualia" as a distinctly (for now) human sense of wonder and awareness of consciousness as a differentiator from human consciousness. The podcast ended with an encouragement to minimize hallucinations with tips like developing careful, specific prompting and more. While the podcasters still cannot pronounce Ralph Losey's last name correctly, they brought their A game to the critique.

Attorney, award winning blogger and AI expert Ralph Losey's curated and vetted podcast features his Anonymous Podcasters as they do a deep dive on Ralph's blog post as he attempted to replicate the research done on large language models (LLMs) and the bar exam. Previously published research awarded the earlier version of ChatGPT highest honors on the bar exam, creating a chill down the spine of attorneys and law students. Ralph Losey picked a bar exam question, documented his process in prompts and the LLMs' responses and graded, as a law professor might, the answers. The LLMs will not be replacing top attorneys today, Ralph concluded, although the majority would pass the exam.
