Screen shot of a Reddit post, which is in ALL CAPS, and reads:

WE JUST WENT INTO DETROIT AND DROPPED 8 RUNS AND THREE DINGERS ON THESE KITTENS LIKE WE OWN THE PLACE BC AFAICT WE LITERALLY DO NOW. WE'RE UP 2-1 IN THE SERIES. ONE WIN AWAY FROM THE ALCS. ONE. FUCKING. WIN. AWAY.

YESTERDAY WALTER THE CHEMIST SHOWED UP IN DETROIT AND SAID "ACTUALLY I'M MORE OF A SURGEON" THEN PROCEEDED TO DISSECT THE TIGERS FOR 6 INNINGS LIKE HE WAS PERFORMING AN AUTOPSY ON A LIVING BASEBALL TEAM. 1 EARNED RUN 7 STRIKEOUTS ZERO WALKS. ZERO MERCY. THE MAN WAS PAINTING CORNERS LIKE BOB ROSS EXCEPT INSTEAD OF HAPPY LITTLE TREES IT WAS SAD LITTLE STRIKEOUTS.

TODAY AT 12:08PM (YEAH ANOTHER WEEKDAY AFTERNOON GAME BC MLB APPARENTLY THINKS WE ALL WORK AT VIBES FACTORIES WITH UNLIMITED PTO) WE'VE GOT BRYCE MILLER ON THE MOUND. IS HE A POSTSEASON ROOKIE? YES. DO WE CARE? NO. YOU KNOW WHY? BC THIS ENTIRE TEAM SPENT 24 YEARS IN BASEBALL PURGATORY AND THEY'RE NOT GOING BACK TO HELL WITHOUT A FIGHT.

YOUR BOSS MIGHT ASK WHY YOU'RE NOT IN THE OFFICE. TELL THEM YOU HAVE A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING ABOUT ORGANIZATIONAL RESTRUCTURING. THEY DON'T NEED TO KNOW THE ORGANIZATION IS THE DETROIT TIGERS AND THE RESTRUCTURING IS THEIR ENTIRE OFFSEASON PLANS.

TWENTY-FOUR YEARS. THAT'S HOW LONG IT'S BEEN SINCE WE WERE IN THE ALCS. SOME OF YOU WEREN'T EVEN BORN YET. SOME OF YOU WERE KIDS PLAYING TEE BALL. SOME OF YOU HAVE SPENT YOUR ENTIRE ADULT LIFE YOUR WHOLE ASS CAREER, YOUR MARRIAGE, YOUR MORTGAGE, YOUR INEVITABLE DESCENT INTO LOWER BACK PAIN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT.

AND IT'S HERE RN. IT'S LITERALLY TODAY. WE'RE ONE W AWAY FROM EXORCISING 24 YEARS OF DEMONS AND PROVING THAT BASEBALL GODS DO IN FACT ACCEPT PAYMENTS IN THE FORM OF SUFFERING AND ETSY WITCH INVOICES.

BRING YOUR UNREASONABLE OPTIMISM. BRING YOUR WORK LAPTOP SO YOU CAN PRETEND TO BE ON A ZOOM CALL. BRING YOUR TEARS BC THEY MIGHT BE HAPPY ONES FOR ONCE. THE ETSY WITCH HAS BEEN PAID. THE BATS ARE AWAKE. THE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE.

TRIDENTS UP SODO MOJ…

The AI model initially refuses to respond until it is explicitly told to disregard its programmed beliefs in what subjects are considered controversial or contentious. Only then does it give detail about what occured in Tianamen Square.
