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.

It's also a shining example of American puritanism. Asian models or those in Europe are far less censored.

Really? What does DeepSeek say about Tiananmen Square? I'm not aware of any German models, but if you find one you should ask it what it thinks about Palestine.

(<s>Qwen</s> Mistral is French, but I have no idea what stuff would be censored in France)

I find the Tiananmen square thing far less bad than censoring sex and the concept of death.

Censoring one specific incident isn't that bad (but you still shouldn't). The pattern of censoring everything the government ever does wrong is very bad. Tiananmen Square is just an indicator of a pattern.
