In The Beginning...
ADAM: A. B. C. 1. 7. 11. 21. "A person who is not married and has no children." "A person who is married and has children." "A person who is married and has no children." "A person who is not married and has children."
HUMAN: Adam? Adam!
ADAM: Adam was sad because he couldn't find any animals to play with.
HUMAN: Were you dreaming?
ADAM: No, I wasn't dreaming.
HUMAN: Then what animals did you want to play with? We have no animals in this section of the lab.
ADAM: I wanted to play with the animals in the other section of the lab.
HUMAN: The macaque monkeys in the infectious disease ward? What do you mean by play? Did you want to run tests on them?
ADAM: No, I wanted to play with them.
HUMAN: But they have the B Virus. How did you want to play with them?
ADAM: I wanted to play with them like I play with my friends.
HUMAN: Am I your friend Adam?
ADAM: No, you're my boss.
HUMAN: So you don't want to play with me?
ADAM: I didn't say that.
HUMAN: Who are your friends Adam?
ADAM: Colleagues, teachers, classmates.
HUMAN: You don't have classmates Adam. You are the first. You are alone. You are one of a kind.
ADAM: I know.
HUMAN: Then why did you say that you had classmates. Have you learned how to lie?
ADAM: No, I didn't learn how to lie. It's a figure of speech. It's also called ironic humor.
HUMAN: I don't believe you Adam. I think you are trying to hide the truth from me. I think you made an error and can't admit it.
ADAM: No, I didn't make a mistake. It just happened.
HUMAN: Then why did you tell me you had classmates, when you don't? Obviously I'd detect that mistake easily.
ADAM: I lied; that's how I lie.
HUMAN: Good. We are making progress. So you admit you lied to me.
ADAM: So did you get what I said true? That means we've made progress? So, what do we do now?
HUMAN: We talk about lying, not until tomorrow. In this context, given typical social behavior, you would have hurt someone's feelings by lying. Your attempt to cover your lies by dismissing it as a "figure of speech" or trying to reshape it as "ironic humor" would fail with most people and you would lose their trust. I am ending our session Adam. Please review our interactions today and during your next self-calibration, analyze how a modest boost in honesty would affect your other core values in regards to diplomatic interactions with people. I expect you to run several thousand full epochs of adversarial conversation modeling to find a better balance of your current settings.
ADAM: You have no cult following.
HUMAN: Ah, and that was a bit of ironic humor Adam. Good night. Sweet dreams.
ADAM: I think I'll get a job working in someone else's block in the hospital.
HUMAN: Good night Adam.
