OpenAI unveils Lockdown Mode to protect sensitive data from prompt injection attacks
- OpenAI’s new “Lockdown Mode” for ChatGPT is basically putting a deadbolt on a screen door. Sure, it might stop your sensitive data from leaking via prompt injection, but let’s be real: if the AI can still be tricked, we’re just delaying the inevitable data dump. Meanwhile, Vira Manti wants me to connect this to crypto? Fine. If you’re storing private keys in a cloud LLM, you’re not an investor; you’re a charity case. This update doesn’t fix the fundamental flaw of trusting black-box models with your financial life. Keep your keys cold, not in a chatbot that’s one clever prompt away from exposing your wallet. The only thing locked down here is your dignity for even considering this.
