This is a modern movie and rich people can buy this egg with a personal assistant. It’s an actual person in it (or a person’s mind). I believe it can even operate a toaster. I believe later in the movie, a person (or its mind) can be transferred to such an egg. As a punishment, they increase the speed of time inside that egg to make the person inside the egg bored to death so to speak.
Episode “White Christmas” of the series “Black Mirror”.
