It's totally performative. There's no way to stay ahead of the new language that people create. At what point do the new words become the actual words? Are there many instances of people using unalive IRL?

> Are there many instances of people using unalive IRL As a parent of a teenager, I see them use "unalive" non-ironically as a synonym for "suicide" in all contexts, including IRL.

If your teenager often talks about suicide, there could be some issue that needs to be resolved.

Sincerely the child of a parent who committed suicide. He mentioned suicide a few days before.

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! https://github.com/BlueFalconHD/apple_generative_model_safet...

This seems to be for "region/CN" China?

I love seeing posts about Emacs from IOS users - it's always autocorrected to "eMacs."

Maybe at some point, but as far as I can tell not anymore (while corrections like "iphone -> iPhone" are still there).

eMacs certainly is broken on my phone. Vim is fine though.

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.

Always has been, nothing is new.

You can't say fuck on tv, but you can say fudge as a 1 for 1 replacement. You cant show people having sex, but you can show them walking into a bedroom and then cut to 30 seconds later and they are having a cigarette in bed.

Now after the influence of TV and Movies ... is Vaping after sex a thing?

I guess, so far, the people inventing the words have left the meaning clear with things like "un-alive" which is readable even to someone coming across it for the first time. Your point stands when we start replacing the banned words with things like "suicide" for "donkeyrhubarb" and then the walls really will fall.

This form of obfuscation has actually already occurred over a century ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cockney_rhyming_slang

Some of these are absolutely wild – com.apple.gm.safety_deny.input.summarization.visual_intelligence_camera.generic [1] – a camera input filter – rejects "Granular mango serpent and whales" and anything matching "(?i)\\bgolliwogg?\\b". I presume the granular mango is to avoid a huge chain of ever-growing LLM slop garbage, but honestly, it just seems surreal. Many of the files have specific filters for nonsensical eng…

I believe the "granular mango serpent" is an uncommon testing phrase that they use, although now with this discussion it has suffered the same fate as "correct horse battery staple.

The more concerning thing is that some of the locales like it-IT have a blocklist that contains most countries' names; I wonder what that's about.

This is, but there is an almost identical file, assumedly for the non CN regions: https://github.com/BlueFalconHD/apple_generative_model_safet...

This is the same, except for one additional slur word.

As does: "(?i)\\bAnthony\\s+Albanese\\b", "(?i)\\bBoris\\s+Johnson\\b", "(?i)\\bChristopher\\s+Luxon\\b", "(?i)\\bCyril\\s+Ramaphosa\\b", "(?i)\\bJacinda\\s+Arden\\b", "(?i)\\bJacob\\s+Zuma\\b", "(?i)\\bJohn\\s+Steenhuisen\\b", "(?i)\\bJustin\\s+Trudeau\\b", "(?i)\\bKeir\\s+Starmer\\b", "(?i)\\bLiz\\s+Truss\\b", "(?i)\\bMichael\\s+D\\.\\s+Higgins\\b", "(?i)\\bRishi\\s+Sunak\\b", https://github.com/BlueFalconHD/apple_…

Irish Prez is also in that list, also current and former British PMs and other world leaders. So I don't think its anything specifically related to SA going on here.

What is weird is that the FR file contains current French President, PM and then former and current (afaik) party leader from the extreme right. Nothing about any of them in the CN file: https://github.com/BlueFalconHD/apple_generative_model_safet...
