It’s a box with a silicone sleeve, cameras and some LED lighting in it, like if the Gom Jabbar pain box from Dune was crafted by a horny gamer.
omg they even called it the right thing (box-o-pain.)
Link to the interview itself?

Edit: oh the link is the post, lemmy can do link+text, I'm a sillyhead.
No way PG has the attention span to write this much.
The shopping cart is presumably because he did E Commerce when he did an actual job.
I knew that was idle words, lol. Classic essay.

can I discard someone's opinion twice?
You must understand, Sam, that the utility in deterring future Sams from doing what you did is massive. Astronomical even, if you think of how many companies could embezzle money in a solar system full of virtual beings. So I have no choice but to lock you up; your temporary suffering in the present is so small as to be irrelevant.
Sort of an aside, but let's soap box about why the Lab Leak theory is a thing:
What I don't get about lableak enthusiasts is why they insist that it's not just a lab leak, but also a lab leak of an other than natural virus. Hell, if you wanted to try and fit the facts but still explain the spooky coincidence, envision a just-so scenario where someone caught (proto) covid while collecting samples in a cave, went back to work at the lab, infected everyone while buying groceries at the market.
Nobody makes up a story like that! It's always a credibility-straining cover-up paired with claims about an engineered virus that don't fit the facts. That makes me think they don't care about the facts at all, and instead just really want to be able to blame something-anything-besides their own countrys' ineffectual responses to the virus for the death and mayhem.
Lab leak is a slight of hand, but don't be fooled; how patient zero happened isn't relevant for the purposes of evaluating how a certain very popular right wing someone managed to fall down flat the one time he was actually called upon to act as a leader.

Has he done anything but blog, microblog and lispturbate since he sold his E Commerce site?
Seeing more pushback than I would have expected on EAs, EACCs, and Bostroms than I would have expected.
