    Those seeking a job in the federal government will now have to write an essay in support of Donald Trump's executive orders, according to a memo from the Office of Personnel Management.

    Vince Haley, the White House's head of domestic policy, wrote in the May 29 memorandum that all civil service applicants must answer a series of essays as part of the job recruitment process, including one about how they would "help advance" Trump's policy priorities.

        The Trump Administration's entire modus operandi appears to be "Ferret out transgressive deep state leftists by assigning the bureaucracy tasks an LLM can easily accomplish."

          The people who actually review the job applications and decide who gets hired probably won't even read these.

            This is like the only ethical use of it can think of: generating acceptable propaganda so you can get the job and do actual work instead

                Probably, but we're way past the point of the Trump regime ignoring all laws that disagree with it..

                  Not a lawyer but I actually don’t think so.

                  I assume all government figures never thought this kind of act could ever happen here so they had no reason to make a law about it or one that covers it.

                  P.S. Even if it is, who is going to stop them. They haven’t followed any law they don’t want to unless forced by the courts and even then they still do it.

                    The courts have been telling him no for the most part. They just take awhile because they actually follow the law.

                      If it is illegal a judge will stop it. Just because he sprays and prays doesn't mean it's sticking.

                        Such efficiency. All these man hours spent reading shitty essays that don't accomplish anything except titillating Trump's ego.

                          Probably better to use Grok, because that's what's going to read these things.

                                  Someone would have to bring a legal case to them first, right? And even if they did, a SC Judge can overturn that.

                                    I'd expect there's applicable laws concerning discrimination in hiring practices. It's probably not a legal stretch to argue that mandating idealogical support for one party's policies will run afoul of political discrimination laws. In fact, this might generate a bunch of lawsuits from people who get turned down for jobs.
