Trapdoor Prompts and the Hidden Behaviors of Language Models

A trapdoor prompt is an input designed to trigger a specific output from a language model, without using any of the words in that output. It’s not a guess and not a coincidence. It’s a byproduct of how models memorize fragments of their training data and the way those fragments can be resurfaced with the […]

In my last post, I shared a few tools I’ve been building as part of a new section on my site, Jon Bishop’s AI Projects. These are small, self-contained apps powered by GPT and built using a one-page architecture. No frameworks, no dependencies, just quick experiments with purpose. Most of the first batch leaned toward […]

Lessons Learned Using ChatGPT to Code from 3.5 to o1

I’ve been using ChatGPT to write code since 3.5 and most recently have been leaning heavily on the 4o model. I’ve also experimented with o1-preview and 4o with canvas. Whether it’s setting up build pipelines, generating code from scratch or refactoring large blocks of code, ChatGPT has changed everything about how I work and write […]
