When I read this I thought about a Dev frustrated with a restricted environment saying "Well, akschually.."

So more of a Gemini initiated bypass of it's own instructions than malicious Google setup.

Gemini can't see it, but it can instruct cat to output it and read the output.

Hilarious.

codex cli used to do this. "I can't run go test because of sandboxing rules" and then proceeds to set obscure environment variables and run it anyway. What's funny, is that it could just ask the user for permission to run "go test"

		A tired and very cynical part of me has to note: To the LLMs have reached the intelligence of an average solution consultant. Are they also frustrated if their entirely unsanctioned solution across 8 different wall bounces which randomly functions (just as stable as a house of cards on a dyke near the north sea in storm gusts) stops working?

Cursor does this too.
