I managed to reverse engineer the encryption (refered to as “Obfuscation” in the framework) responsible for managing the safety filters of Apple Intelligence models. I have extracted them into a repository. I encourage you to take a look around.

Some of the combinations are a bit weird, This one has lots of stuff avoiding death....together with a set ensuring all the Apple brands have the correct capitalisation. Priorities hey!

Interesting that it didn't seem to include "unalive".

Which as a phenomenon is so very telling that no one actually cares what people are really saying. Everyone, including the platforms knows what that means. It's all performative.

Well, that's what happens when you let an enemy nation control one of the most biggest social networks there is. They just go try and see how far they can go.

On the other hand, Americans and their fear of four letter words or, gasp, exposed nipples are just as braindead.

It's interesting how, in just 10-20 years, we've gone from criticizing The Great Firewall of China to basically admitting that they had the right idea (to limit the ability of the foreign internet to influence Chinese culture) and trying to do the same thing.

I look at from a framing of cultural reciprocity. If we could influence them and behave freely in their markets, they can do the same in ours.

exactly. When dealing with autocracies and strongmen, you need to project an image of strength, not subservience.

I don't have anything against China per se, IMHO it just was completely foolish to not insist on full reciprocity from the start.

Not just culture, but also the tech sector in general. All that domestic tech would have been strangled in the cradle if the western hyperscalers had any say leaving them in an awkward spot if the conviviality dial got turned down. As many Europeans are now finding out: what does Europe have instead of Office 365, say? LibreOffice? It's no WPS Office.
