Or, like in Larry Niven's Ringworld, these kinds of stochastic LLM tools will just help screen for candidates with the most luck. Maybe it's not such a bad thing to hire the luckiest candidate.

The reason I'm going to buy a Steam Machine instead of building a computer is the verified program. I've absolutely loved being able to check a store listing page and immediately know if a game will run well on the Steam Deck. H
