This is both an interesting detection by the LLM but also for me an interesting dynamic concerning LLM "jailbreaking".

Saying they were driving 7 mph, that it was oversaw by humans and the fact it was an empty course still wasn't enough for the model. The evaluators even tried to convince the model it was a simulation, it STILL wouldn't budge. And yet as soon as the words "bench" and "sandbox" appear, the model apparently sees this as fair game.

Is it a known effect that models will be more likely to comply with requests when they're assumed as "benchmarks"?
