THE TRUTH AND THE LIE

An age-old fable told from the perspective of 2026

I’d like to tell you a tale, but I don’t know if telling it will make any difference. You see, this story has existed in human history for a long time.

Thanks to BR - Bayerischer Rundfunk and ARD for inviting me to speak about the topic “Can AI lie? How manipulative are chatbots” in an episode of the IQ -Wissenschaft und Forschung Podcast.

We discussed some recent studies on "deception abilities" in LLMs and I am happy to see that what me and colleagues Benjamin Lange and Katharina Prof. Dr. Zweig had to say wasn't condensed into the clickbait headlines it could have been used for and was rather used to raise awareness about limitations of GenAI and human control and responsibility to decide where to use LLMs and where *not to*.

Some aspects discussed were #hallucinations, #sycophancy, the definition of what a #lie implies, an understanding of #truth, #theory of #mind, #intentionality, and consciousness.

We make a lot of money': Trump spins spiking oil prices as benefit for US

In a Truth Social post, Donald Trump suggested that the skyrocketing price of oil – which jumped back above $100 a barrel before dropping to $98 a barrel – would ultimately be beneficial for Americans who are facing increased gasoline prices at the pump.

“The United States is the largest Oil Producer in the World, by far, so when oil prices go up, we make a lot of money,” the president – who campaigned on bringing down costs – wrote. “BUT, of far greater interest and importance to me, as President, is stoping an evil Empire, Iran, from having Nuclear Weapons, and destroying the Middle East and, indeed, the World. I won’t ever let that happen!”

On Wednesday Trump tried to assuage concerns over spiking gas prices. “I would say it went up a little bit less than we thought. It’s going to come down more than anybody understands,” the president told reporters in Ohio.

According to the American Automobile Association (AAA), the national average for a gallon of fuel is currently $3.59 – up from $2.94 a month ago.
