Why can't an AI be trained to generate "the whole package"?

It too is just software

Nothing in their comment reads to me as "arguing against"

Hedonic treadmill just goes in a loop of experience. Consumer tech is just attention seeking codependency on the part of corporate

The real cool stuff going on with tech is in domains like regenerative and longevity medicine; see Michael Levin at Tufts for truly sci fi Wolverine healing type mind blowing ideas

As it has carried on and on conversations have veered into "the people of that country are not reliable and intelligent global partners or the American system truly is a dystopian mess"
