The game reminds me (and apparently others) of some popular movies, such as The Silence of the Lambs. I could not spot any idiot plot in it, but then again, I could have easily overlooked one. Anyway, given the similarities with the AI box scenario, it is interesting to look at the (meta-)strategies Lector uses in the movie which are also likely to work for a boxed AI. Anyone care to comment?

Good behavior for years, obsessions with seeming trivialities to distract from your potential, making friends with your guards.

in The Prefect by Alistair Reynolds there's a mind that does nothing but make varying clocks for years before it starts killing, and then it turns out every clock is actually an extremely well-hidden complicated weapon.
