Well that is something… @Apple censoring, much?
Apple didn't store a plaintext list of forbidden words in iOS. Instead, researchers discovered a compiled minimal perfect hash table of 32-bit fingerprints buried inside the keyboard's language-model files.
When you swipe-type or use autocomplete on an iPhone, the keyboard converts your input into token IDs and evaluates sequences of two to six words. It hashes those candidate n-grams using Bob Jenkins's public-domain hashword() function. If that 32-bit fingerprint matches an entry in the table, the predictive engine refuses to suggest it, or the swipe model actively diverts the word to an alternate match.
On November 6, researcher Derik Kauffman published Swipeblocked after exhaustively enumerating candidate word combinations against the table to reverse-engineer the hidden phrases. His conservative estimate is roughly 100,000 entries across 28 languages. In English, the prediction list holds 4,525 phrases and the swipe-typing list holds 2,794.
Most entries cover violence, slurs, and sexual content, but the table also silences geopolitical phrases like "Tibetan independence", "United Ireland", "dictator Trump", and Hebrew for "the occupied territories". In testing, swiping "United Ireland" consistently resolved to "United Iceland".
You can still type any phrase letter by letter. The suppression only touches autocomplete predictions and gesture paths. Apple told Reuters the system avoids offensive suggestions, but never addressed the political entries or the existence of the table.
Apple never published the list because it was never meant to be read. It took brute-forcing the hash table to show what the keyboard was quietly dropping.
What in the world??

Well, that ought to get your blood boiling.
JUST IN: French blood bank hit by cyber attack with blood samples being heated to 110 degrees Celsius from their maintained -30, per Le Canard Enchaîné.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The 110 °C figure was the value hacked equipment was reprogrammed to reach, which does not mean the cold rooms or plasma bags actually reached 110 °C. France's health ministry said the anomalies were spotted in time, with no operational consequences. cyberattaque.org/cyberattaque-c…
Some improvements for the Bot once you set it up:
1) Have the bot check when your weekly usage resets and have it run after that day/time
2) Tweak the two weekly checkins so they don't overlap
I've created a new Grok @Bot Efficiency Optimizer template that helps you make your Grok Bot usage/credits last longer.
Every week it will analyze usage across your bots and routines, identify inefficiencies, and recommend ways to reduce unnecessary usage. It also once per week gives you a quick breakdown of which bots and routines used the most the previous week.
This template will reduce your overall usage, not increase it. It doesn't run constantly, and my test of it used less than 1% of my capacity. It just sends you one efficiency review and one short recap per week of what ate up the most usage, and makes suggestions on what to do to improve usage efficiency.

Absolutely hilarious 😆 Great job, Lauren 👏
Day 28/ tibo's game has landed
i spent $5.99 on this domain, but i had a blast making it with grok bot and cursor! i hope you enjoy it and find all the easter eggs 🤍
if i did it right you should be able to play it inside of X too

Goodness gracious. What on earth happened???? That looks more like a missile, than the Learjet. 🤯😭
This is the epitome of saying the quiet part out loud.
Ten million people have watched a comedian accidentally destroy the entire TED talk industry.
He filmed the talk once at TEDxNewYork in 2014 and openly admitted he had nothing to say.
Speaking coaches charge $5,000 to teach the exact tricks he used in 6 minutes to say nothing at all.
His name is Will Stephen. He is a comedian from Late Night with Seth Meyers who was invited to give a real TED talk and used it to prove the format is a costume anyone can wear.
Every TED speaker opens with a question, tells a personal story, cites a scientist, and shows a chart. Stephen did all four in six minutes with zero content.
His entire formula fits on a napkin.
Gesture with both hands. Ask the audience a question anyone can answer. Tell a mildly embarrassing story so they say aww. Point to a stranger on a slide and call them important. Flash a chart of random numbers. Wear glasses with no lenses. The audience will think you are brilliant.
That last trick alone has probably cost the public speaking coaching industry a hundred million dollars in sessions clients should have skipped.
"If you watched me on YouTube with the sound off, you would think I was a genius."
That is Will Stephen on the TED stage, three minutes into the talk he was paid to give. He wasn't lying.
Executives pay $15,000 for a keynote coach and still open with a joke the room never laughs at. Founders rehearse their pitch for weeks and still sound like Stephen at minute four, saying "wagga wah, gabba gabba" with authority.
The talk is free on YouTube. The method is written across every TED speaker's playbook for ten years.
Stephen still writes for Seth Meyers. Almost none of the ten million viewers have stopped nodding at empty slides since.
The formula is free. The willingness to actually say something before your next keynote, pitch, or townhall is the entire edge.
Made a little shopping bot called, Dealio.
Three things it does that I wanted for myself:
- Tells you whether the thing is even worth buying
- Actually tests the coupon codes in the cart instead of just listing them
- Checks whether buying the items separately beats the 'bundle deal'"
Another little nugget:
- ignores agent/bot-directed language embedded and hidden on sites
Give it a try and let me know what you think! 🫰

Good UI mockups/design has been a sore point for me. This looks promising. Has anyone else given it a shot? Share your results in the comments. 👇
Just had our own similar experience last night. FSD easily moved out of the way for a crazy motorcyclist who decided to be impatient and illegally pass us. Thank you @TeslaSI
So much capability has already been baked into FSD v14 that it excites me what v15 will bring to the table. @aelluswamy @yunta_tsai @TeslaSI
Toyota Camry tries to squeeze into non-existent merge lane. FSD takes sharp evasive action to pull away safely saving the Camry from side swiping against the concrete barrier and my truck.
