This is the only "pro-AI" comment that I've seen that makes sense. This isn't too different from the non-CS interviewing strategy. Try to make interviewing cheap and accept that it is a noisy (and biased) process. This also makes it easier to let bad candidates ("false hires") cheap replace.

As I see it, you're trying to optimize: p(X|F,C) > T, F=filter, and C=cost, and T=threshold. Treating this as a probabilistic problem seems important. So reducing C is valuable, even if F is not as good.

Not in Europe. It’s almost impossible to fire someone in a reasonable time in Europe.

"in Europe" doesn't mean anything because every European country has different employment law. In the UK it's trivially easy to fire someone quickly if they're a recent hire.
