    “Blind box” in the tech context is an algorithm that hides its operations from everyone, even its own creators. You give it an input, and then it produces an output, without showing you how it arrived to that output.

      Nah, that’s a black box algorithm. Blind boxes are like loot boxes, but for irl stuff. Like labubus. Basically gachapon machines without the machine. But that’s not exactly tech, so I assume the op means loot boxes.
