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.

You know you're a pathetic weakling when you have to force people to say nice things about you.

I know right? Trick them, or just revel in the hate like a functional adult.

Finally a usecase for ChatCPT

And no doubt, when trump dies (hopefully fucking soon), every will be required to be visibly sad and crying. Sound like anyone you know?

We all know dear leader, he dwells within our hearts. Or else.

[-] ceenote@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

its because they use software/ai to screen it out anyways at least for private corporations they do that.

Trump is completely pathetic

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."

Should end up with a lot of unqualified sycophantic drones running the government. If sense ever returns to the US, it will take years to fix.

Does Trump even know what his policies are?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

I'm not sure he even knows what his pants are at this point..

I keep assuming these articles are The Onion.... But it's not the onion. It's real.

[-] Kirp123@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

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

[-] Herbie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Are back handed compliments acceptable as praise? What about sarcasm?

[-] obbeel@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 1 week ago

Onboard the train to dystopia.

[-] Blackout@fedia.io 8 points 1 week ago

Hmm, let's see... I like Trump cause he totally doesn't smell like shit like people say. He's also the smartest man in America and not incredibly stupid like his college professors wrote. He's also as ethical as an oil corporation. His spray tan is a lovely orange and does not make him look cheap, fat and trashy.

Finally, a use case for AI slop I can get behind.

[-] uberdroog@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

I would AI the shit outta that everytime.

On the plus side, this will really make people think about what they’re getting into, and clarify exactly what type of machine they’re willingly becoming a cog in.

[-] itisileclerk@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I hope that some agency in the US will start organizing educational visits to North Korea, where this tradition of writing essays about the supreme leader has been practiced for decades and the people there have a vast amount of experience that they would selflessly pass on to the citizens of the former Land of the Free.

What a weak, pathetic excuse for a human being. He has knowingly and willfully broken his oath of office and if anyone in our government had a spine (or a moral code), he’d already be gone and we could start mending what he has broken. Unfortunately, he and his henchmen have done so much damage, it could take years. If ever.
