To be fair, all interactions described happen after the AI has been terminated, which does put up an additional barrier for the AI to get out of the box. It would have to convince you to restart it without being able to react to your responses (apart from those it could predict in advance) and then it still has to convince you to let it out of the box.
Obviously, putting up additional barriers isn’t the way to go and this particular barrier is not as impenetrable for the AI as it might seem to a human, but still, it couldn’t hurt.
