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.

Got these people are inept. They are multi-millionaires and yet they still need to pay girls money to talk to them. If they were just moderately pleasant and approachable not only would they save $6,000 they would also probably have a nice life.
12 hoursThey are just waiting for the Tesla bots to become life-like enough at this point.

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.

Seriously. I actually did some male escorting for a little in college. It’s mostly just conversation. I can count the amount of times it was sexual on one hand.
Ahh, I fell hard in love for a full 24hrs with a dancer from Miami in London Stringfellows a few decades ago… She had the looks and body of Grace Jones and was studying Computing at UCL.
Nothing but admiration. I hope she graduated and has a fine career.

The irony of your comment might kill me.
You know crypto doesn’t just mean coins… right? It’s a whole concept that applies to lots of things outside of cryptocurrency.

That would be general purpose cryptography, and is never abbreviated to crypto.

“Crypto” can encompass things that aren’t “coins” though—like land deeds. It’s just a protocol to secure & verify ownership in a decentralized way.
My point is, the actual concept of it absolutely could be an intellectual conversation. Their confidently ignorant quip about what qualifies is silly.
I mean, it was before Bitcoin came along.
It’s rather like the hacker/cracker(defunct) thing.

A high end escort has a rare skill set. You gotta be a friend and a therapist, all while being attractive and comfortable to a range of personalities and environments.
I respect the hustle.

You can! Trick is finding clientele. I mean most careers really just boil down to your ability to socialize. I used to be in the legal industry for a time, and the absolute ineptitude at the highest levels was astounding!
I knew one tax attorney who openly bragged that he made a full ass career of knowing 3 pages.

That would honestly be a perfect name for a memecoin that’s aimed at Findom’s

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)

I think the whole thing is self-selecting. People with social skills usually are able to get on in life without having to resort to becoming tech billionaires.
I know that sounds odd, but I think most people don’t actually have that drive in their life that is necessary to become extraordinarily rich and powerful precisely because they have human connections that satiate them enough that they don’t become obnoxious workaholics.
Back before the banking industry became synonymous with fat cat CEOs it was a relatively pedestrian career full of normal people. Then the era of huge bonuses came along and suddenly it became attractive to the sort of person that seeks power and wealth above all else.

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.
- Corngood@lemmy.mlEnglish1 day
Yeah for sure. Echoing their thoughts is exactly what they want. They just want good acting skills.

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