I'm not saying you can't trust genies. I am saying that anyone who can achieve amazing outcomes at the push of a button needs a pretty fucking compelling argument as to why they're extracting a terrible price for doing so and asking you to make that choice.

No, what I'm saying is that if they do not provide that reason then the reason is "they're fucking with you" and they are not to be trusted.

yea but there could also just be no reason. malicious reasons are more interesting tho so they have more representation

If they are extracting a terrible price, that is very very strong evidence of malicious reasons.

If they're bored, that powerful, and willing to inflict great harm in order to alleviate that boredom, how exactly is that not malicious?

If you think demonstrably malicious powerful people aren't going to have hidden reserves of malice to bring out, I don't really know what to tell you other than that I think you're going to have a bad time in life.
