Silicon Valley's AI elite are shelling out as much as $6,000/hour for 'nerdy escorts' who can talk tech and crypto (finance.yahoo.com)

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 don't think there is any fucking involved, probably lots of crying though.

Fuck, tears of the rich sounds like icing on the $6000/hr cake. Though they would probably expect comfort from me rather than laughter and mockery…

Just say you're catering to those with a humiliation fetish you get to eat your cake and have it too.
