I suppose I was mentally classifying that kind of behavior as an escape; you're right that it should be called out as a separate point of failure.
My point is that "ai box experiment" communicates orders of magnitude less evidence about the danger of escaping AIs than people like to imply, and there are lots of stronger and simpler self-contained arguments such as the one I gave. (The overall danger is much greater than even that, because these are specific plots with an obvious villain, while reality is more subtle.)
Ahhh, I see what you're getting at. Agreed.
For that matter, calling it an "experiment" is quite misleading.
