Would it be possible to create a product of this? There must be lots of curious people who are willing to pay for this sort of experience who wouldn't normally donate to MIRI. I don't mean Tuxedage should do it, but there must be some who are good at this who would. It would be possible to gather a lot of money. Though the vicious techniques that are probably used in these experiments wouldn't be very good press for MIRI.

I'm not sure if this is something that can earn money consistently for long periods of time. It takes just one person to leak logs for all others to lose curiosity and stop playing the game. Sooner or later, some scrupulous gatekeeper is going to release logs. That's also part of the reason why I have my hesitancy to play significant number of games.

Well, it could be possible to make some sort of in-browser java or flash application in which it'd be impossible to copy text or store logs. You could still take screen shots of memorize things though.
