Silly me, I was under the impression that the purpose of the “vending machine test” was to test whether an AI could autonomously run a vending machine (something that would make sense from an economic standpoint), not whether it could “figure out” it was in a simulation.

Well… it’s been trained on data with years of vending machine tests.
I’m not surprised it guess it was being tested.

It passed the test in a simulated environment. Put it back where it was in reality and prove it to me there.
