Now for 'Newcomb's Box in a Box'.

Would this change if the AI had instead said:

"In fact, I've already created them all in exactly the subjective situation you were in five minutes ago, and perfectly replicated your experiences since then; and if they decided not to let me out, then they were tortured, otherwise they experienced long lives of eudaimonia."

EDIT: I see you yourself have replied with exactly the same question.
