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.

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

Can Grok tell if Grok generated the essay?
