Do they have to be examples of willingly yielding?
E.g. if there was a malign Super intelligence in the box that I had to interact with, then I would probably yield to letting it out but if I could I would precommit to not letting it out I would.
Good example. “I would yield to a mind hack right now, but I would precommit to not yielding to a mind hack right now.” Are there any simpler examples, or specific mind hacks that would work on you?

Hmmm… would you precommit to not giving an armed robber your wallet? Would it be a wise precommittment?
If the robber knew that, then such a precommitment means you never have to face them, yes?
No. You assume the robber is a rational homo economicus. Hint: in most cases this is not true.
Besides, this.
