Stop trying to break the genie!!!

Ok so let's go through this. Because wanting to be a god is a more of a liability than a benefit when this genie is concerned, wishing not to want to be a god is actually a major benefit, making it much harder to grant and making it much more likely that the genie will flake out on you on wish one.

In other words, wishing not to want to be a god is only slightly easier for the genie to grant than making you a god without changing your values.

Ok my turn to make some wishes. For my first wish, I would wish for world peace. Because I'm a scoundrel and generally don't give a shit about the foreign countries, this wish would probably be granted for me pretty easily.

Haha just kidding! My first wish would be for a slice of pizza. And my second wish, idk, I'd wish that testimony was more reliable or something.

fine, no genie breaking.

I‘ld take dick pills and a nice hooker with big titties.

And as a third wish the genie shall suggest the wish that he would carry out that would help me the most.

OK, I have tried, but I cannot not break the genie.

You're addicted smh, my next wish is for the genie to organize an intervention for you.

Also, the biggest drawback of the genie is the lack of certainty in what level of wish he'd actually try hard enough to pull off. Being able to directly wish for something right on the boundary of what the genie wouldn't flake out on is a huge benefit. Having to apply your own values without making a mistake is also a huge liability, so wishing that away is already pretty serious.

I can't figure out how to quantify an actual calculation though, so maybe that would actually work.

Damn. Then I, too, take a slice of pizza. A decade old one that was bought for 10000 BTC back in the days.

wait, I don’t want to eat that! I want to sell it to get rich and powerful. If the crypto guys pay millions for a banana think of how much I would get for an original pizza day pizza slice!
