GPT-5.6 and the Weaponization of Guardrails [Operational Drift]
Episode 1911
Published 3 months, 3 weeks ago
Description
In this investigation, Margaret Ellis examines the structural reality of prompt injection and the emergence of 'context bombing' as a defensive measure. As frontier models like GPT-5.6 are treated with the procedural caution of dual-use military technology, a deeper drift is occurring: the normalization of systems that cannot tell the difference between a user's question and a hidden command.
