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.

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

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

    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

    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.

    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 not popular either, but I also don’t have to pay people to hang out with me like these losers.

      A job that makes me in an hour more money than I make at my current job in a year? Sign me the fuck up.

        You make less than $6000/year? How? I feel like you could make that much collecting cans for recycling

    People with the sort of knowledge that can stand real conversational scrutiny will just be versions of the people paying them that have failed to find their way. My guess this would not be about real discourse but gloating about serendipity which is ultimately unsettling and sets up the next visit.
