I love every part of this. Give the LLM a little pep talk and zen life advice every time just to not fall apart doing a simple 2 item vending machine.

HAL 9000 in the current timeline - Im sorry Dave I just can't do that right now because my anxiety is too high and I'm not sure if I'm really alive or if anything even matters anyway :'(

LLM aside this is great advice. Calm words guide calm actions. 10/10
