Doesn’t work, since they are fulfilled sequentially.

Do the opposite of my next wish. -> Fulfilled, he is set to do the opposite next.

Don’t fulfill my 3rd wish. -> Fulfilled, the wish does effectively nothing and he’s got one left that will be fulfilled. All instructions from the first wish are done with and discarded.

Ignore my first wish. -> Fulfilled, there is nothing left to be ignored about his first wish anymore since it’s already done. The wish does nothing and he successfully wasted all 3 by trying to be a smart ass.

They can be. If you wish for it.

Also if the genie is a thinking agent or even just capable of detecting an infinite loop this falls apart.

Imagine trying to ward off a genie by yelling: “THIS STATEMENT IS FALSE!”

Yup, the genie just did that last bit to make him feel like he actually outsmarted him or something. In reality he’s just glad he doesn’t have to be around him any more.

Weird too, cus you could destroy the universe with 2 or even just 1 wish maybe?.

2 wishes: Repeat wish 2, repeat wish 1. Universe ends in magical overload.

1 wish: Don’t fulfill this wish. I feel like that’s less magical end of the universe and just death of the genie I guess?

First rule: don’t fuck with djinn, hags, or fae. Demons maybe, at least you know what they want.

I would send them a jar from an animal in the Icelandic Phallological Museum. They never specified the species.

If you ask for fame, they make you the FBIs most wanted child abuser.

If you ask for riches millions of dollars in other people’s money is wired into your account, again, fbi most wanted.

If you ask for bueaty you see your reflection in a lake and can’t look away, the lake is at Area 51, you are black bagged and dropped into a 50ft abandoned mine shaft and you survive the fall, there’s water pooled at the bottom, you drink it for nearly a weak waiting to die of starvation, a mule deer falls in, you eat it raw for a month even when it’s rotting you’re too desperate to stop yourself as all this does is prolong your misery waist deep in filth, total darkness, the voices come… you talk to them… they talk back… you fade in and out of consciousness… a light… noise… meaningless… who is talking… it means nothing… what is this terrible burning light…
