The AI grind often leaves workers with plenty of cash but not enough time, and chatbots can't fill the void.

Paying an escort to spend time with you certainly doesn’t come with the same sacrifices as an organic relationship. And, unlike chatbots, “nerdy escorts” are real people who can provide human perspectives on things like AI, crypto and economics instead of just echoing back a tech worker’s thoughts on such subjects.

    Its funny how to many the whole concept seems new, but to me it’s just the topics and price range.

    Escorts, and strippers have been entertaining patrons with intellectual conversations probally for as long as the second oldest profession has been around.

    This is definitely not new. Folks I worked with in SF went to parties where there were tech-knowledable escorts back around ~2010.

    I doubt these guys are paying someone $6k/hr to disagree with them.

      No, the prostitute definitely just really likes me. She said I’m the best she’s ever had and my dick is bigger than anyone else she’s had sex with.

      Yeah for sure. Echoing their thoughts is exactly what they want. They just want good acting skills.

    See, everyone? The market will provide jobs for all the junior devs that get laid (off) because of AI.

      That’s how these lonely bigoted dorks with new money think being rich and powerful and cool works - overpay for whatever you want and force others to give it to you, with money you gained through slave labor, destructive practices, stealing from future generations and corruption. They think might makes right, so yeah, they think they’re elite for paying people to pretend to care about them when they’re not on stage or social media or in a board room.

        That sadly seems to check out. I suppose they see themselves as somewhat too good to talk to the common person, so paying someone to talk to them is a privilege for them. Never mind the fact that once you give someone money they are going to change their attitude towards you in hopes you give them more. I wonder if some of these folks have ever had a normal conversation that didn’t involve some scifi shit. (I love scifi)

    Fucking pathetic that with all bullshit about how elite they are, and how they deserve so much more than the rest of us, they have to fucking pay someone to spend time with them.

    I’m a woman engineer and for that kind of money might be able to stomach this (not that I’m anywhere near attractive enough for them to hire me), but I’m pretty sure if I were attractive enough and got hired they would probably only last a few minutes before I completely emasculated them by actually knowing what the fuck I’m talking about.

    Sounds pretty fun, actually, now that I think about it… as long as I didn’t need to fuck them
