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.

Edit: I have no doubt South African news media are going to be in a frenzy when they realize Apple took notice of South African politicians. (Referring to Steenhuisen and Ramaphosa specifically)

Apple's 1984 ad is so hypocritical today.

This is Apple actively steering public thought.

No code - anywhere - should look like this. I don't care if the politicians are right, left, or authoritarian. This is wrong.

No, it’s them saving their butts from an “incident” where the LLM otherwise spits out something controversial at the devious manipulation of the user and says something political and someone writes an article and it all goes haywire.

If you were in charge of apple you’d do the same or you’d be silly not to. That’s why _every_ llm has guardrails like this, it isn’t just apple, sheesh.
