I should have been more clear about what I meant by an oracle. The only utility the AI takes into account when answering a question is accuracy. It must be truthful and only answers questions about differences in the days of a voter. A valid question could be something like "A year from now, if you do [horrendous act] would my voter button still vote you down?" If not, I'd vote the AI down for the whole year until it begins acting.

While I recognize the huge threat of unfriendly AI, I'm not convinced Player One can't win. I'd like to see the game played on a wider scale (and perhaps formalized a bit) to explore the space more thoroughly. It might also help illuminate the risks of AI to people not yet convinced. Plus it's just fun =D
