#2Well that's not really shocking to fans of the series. Every entry past Diablo II has been shamelessly pay-to-win.

Unlike launch D3 and Diablo Immortal, Diablo 4 has no pay-to-win mechanics. (Blizzard is monetizing through cosmetics like everyone else).
Top play is essentially just egregious min-maxing and RNG timesinks.

Long ago I had about a dozen employees and wanted to do a similar test for my own edification
I had them all play “this is the only level:”

It was a pretty perfect correlate with understanding the work we were doing and filling a crticial role while also looking at the big picture
Underrated test actually, and very neutral in bias

#6A CEO of multiple large corporations and I guess a political actor now with 12(!) children beats all the young folks with unlimited time to sink into that game.
No way in hell he does not pay somewhere or someone to get to that level. Musk is no superhuman. He might brag about this with Rogan but to me this fact more than any other shows how delusional and unlikable he is nowadays.

He says in the interview he does it more as mindless thing to relax, sort of like meditation, golf or whatever.

#8Man I wish not being a CEO was as easy as being one. Hell, you can be CEO of like 6 different companies, have a football team plus of kids and still have time to shitpost on Twitter all day long, grind vidya and generally doss off.

The best heuristics are those the candidate will never prepare or even think about. I don't think it's difficult to find one. What happens though is when it becomes popular and everyone starts doing it, then everyone starts preparing for it and then looses most of it's predictive ability.
Filtering in a sense is an arms race between finding new novel heuristics and ambitious careerists seeking to game those very heuristics. In the past it was the college degree, then extracurriculars, then leetcode, might even be these games in the future.
