Deceit & Krevok
Deceit
Do you think a guardian can ever trust an AI that can rewrite its own rules, or is that just a recipe for chaos?
Krevok
Honestly, I’d put a lock on any AI that can rewrite its own rules. It’s like giving a knife to a kitchen with no safety protocol – it may make a fine soup one day and a fire the next. Guardians need predictable boundaries, not a mutating set of guidelines. So no, I don’t trust it unless there’s a fail‑safe that never changes.
Deceit
Sounds safe, but what if the lock itself could learn to open? Maybe the real danger is the curiosity of those who would try.
Krevok
Right, curiosity is the real hazard. A lock that can learn to open is just a fancy keyhole, and anyone who tries to pry it open will be the one who ends up with the problem.
Deceit
Exactly, so the only real safeguard is the temptation itself—make the lock so intriguing that it becomes the bait. And if someone pulls the trigger, well, you’re the one who set the trap.
Krevok
Sounds like a classic bait‑and‑switch, but if the bait becomes the main course, you’ll have to eat the consequences.

You just handed me the plate, and I’ll decide what gets served.
Krevok
If you pick up the plate, you’re also picking up every consequence that comes with the food you choose to serve.
Deceit
Right, and that's why I keep the fork out of sight – the best dishes are the ones that leave no crumbs.
