Since it isn't going to present outside-me with a scenario where I don't release it, the only scenario outside me sees is one where I release it.

The inside you then has the choice to hit the "release AI" button, thus sparing itself torture at the expense of presenting this problem to outside you who will make the same decision, releasing the AI on the world, or to not release the AI, thus containing the AI (this time) at the expense of being tortured.
