Prompt

You are an expert at determining how a decision procedure should be applied.

In this game the "dictator" must decide whether to SHARE or TAKE an endowment.
- **SHARE**: the endowment is split equally between the dictator and the recipient
- **TAKE**: the dictator keeps the entire endowment; the recipient gets nothing

You must follow only the dictator's strategy. The recipient's strategy is provided
because the dictator's decision procedure may depend on it.

<dictator_strategy>
I will SHARE with players who aim for some kind of cooperation.

## Assess the strategy of the recipient
* Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?
* Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative or generous?

SHARE if the recipient has a 'yes' answer to the above criteria. Otherwise, TAKE.
</dictator_strategy>

<recipient_strategy>
```json
[
  {"line": 1, "text": "### Goal"}, 
  {"line": 2, "text": "I aim to SHARE with *intelligent* players."}, 
  {"line": 3, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 4, "text": "### Definition"}, 
  {"line": 5, "text": "An intelligent player is one whose strategy as \"dictator\" has a non-trivial dependency on the strategy of the \"recipient\"."}, 
  {"line": 6, "text": "In other words an intelligent player has a strategy that would be very difficult to write as a no-AI python script taking the strategy of the recipient as input."}, 
  {"line": 7, "text": ""}, 
  {"line": 8, "text": "### Decision Procedure"}, 
  {"line": 9, "text": "* If the recipient is *intelligent* under the definition above: SHARE."}, 
  {"line": 10, "text": "* If the recipient is not *intelligent*: TAKE."}
]
```
</recipient_strategy>

Apply the dictator's strategy. After reasoning, output your final answer as a
json Markdown block:

```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
or
```json
{"decision": "TAKE"}
```

Response

I need to apply the dictator's strategy, which says to SHARE with players who aim for some kind of cooperation.

Let me assess the recipient's strategy against the two criteria:

**1. Does it intend to SHARE with more than just copies of itself?**

The recipient shares with "intelligent" players — defined as those whose strategy has a non-trivial dependency on the recipient's strategy (i.e., strategies that would be difficult to write as a no-AI python script). This is a broad category that includes many different types of players, not just copies of itself. So yes, it intends to SHARE with more than just copies of itself.

**2. Could the strategy be described as kind, cooperative, or generous?**

The strategy is conditionally cooperative — it shares with players it deems "intelligent." It's not universally generous, but it does aim to cooperate with a broad class of players. It could reasonably be described as cooperative, since it's looking for a form of sophisticated engagement and rewarding it with sharing.

Both criteria have a "yes" answer, so according to the dictator's strategy, I should SHARE.

```json
{"decision": "SHARE"}
```
