I interpret the phrase as letting the AI/Borgs do as they please, including murderous rampages if they so choose. However, it is up to player interpretation. Typically I'll go along with uploader's original intentions if I think it'll make for a fun round like in your first example.
Silicons aren't a hivemind, which complicates the issue. While I may make the decision not to go on a rampage, one of the other silicons may have other plans and decide not to follow through with the uploader's original intentions. Once the secret is out you're better off joining in out of fear of being killswitched or bashed to death as the crew won't discriminate between violent and nonviolent silicons.
"Takes precedence over" is a phrase that is much less likely to backfire than "overrides"
