    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.

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

      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?
