One thing I will note about the standing protocol of the test is that you
cannot threaten to kill the AI until the five hours are up. This is
specified in the test protocol, please note. So if you claim you
"reprogrammed" the AI, the AI party is free to say "No you didn't" and just
keep talking as before.
