    "Work hard and you'll succeed" is an advice that's too simplistic. There're people who work hard and don't succeed and there're those that don't work hard and succeed. When you think about it, it's quite obvious when it works. It works when there's a clear path or objectives to success. For example, beating a difficult game or becoming fluent in another language.

    It often feels like BS in real life because this advice should come with a precedent: identify the right path (which is different for everyone). There's too much uncertainty IRL and if you don't identify the right path for yourself first, you'd be working hard toward the wrong thing. Like someone working hard to become an NBA player while ignoring the fact that they never possess the genetics to begin with.

    Personally I really like season 1 but hate season 2. I think I like the first episode of S2 but it just gets more and more ridiculous.

    https://kimi.moonshot.cn/ looks pretty good and it doesn't seem to be on your list. Not sure what model it's using. Edit: wait, it's Moonshot AI listed in the second batch

    It's harder to tell if you're just watching some videos or someone else playing/operating. It's much more noticeable when you're both seeing and feeling it, like scrolling through a web page or moving the mouse around. Personally I can feel something is not right or laggy if the my 120hz TV somehow resets to 60hz when I'm using it as my computer screen. I probably can't tell if I'm just watching someone else play on it.

    It's pretty much impossible to achieve true immortality due to law of large numbers so you don't have to worry about that.

    The cost of taking care of the old, the young, the sick is probably higher than if most of everyone is healthy, biologically young, and able.
