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)

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.
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.
Holy shit that's pathetic
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.

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
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…
laughter and mockery
some pay extra for that.

Just say you're catering to those with a humiliation fetish you get to eat your cake and have it too.
See, everyone? The market will provide jobs for all the junior devs that get laid (off) because of AI.
Backend developer
Backalley developer
Even one billionaire is a policy failure.
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.
BATSIGNAL FOR ALL ESPIONAGE AGENTS
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.

What an awful job
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
Paid by hours worked, at 10€/h and not given enough work.

FINDOM has entered the chat.
And they say the rich are good with money.
“Omg, can I un-zip your hard-drive?” Am I saying it correct?
Is this not what a consultant is?
Plenty of women in tech. What these tools want are sycophants who tell them their crypto is mad powerful broh and then give them a gobbie
This is definitely not new. Folks I worked with in SF went to parties where there were tech-knowledable escorts back around ~2010.
this could honestly be from the onion
How do i get in on this?
I feel if they marketed AI better they’d get far more subscribers. Right now they seem to be focused on ripping off businesses which seems very short sighted.
I’ll offer all my marketing insights for just 10% of all new subscribers under my marketing campaign! 😎
Hey I will do a lot for money but I draw the line at crypto.
They are just waiting for the Tesla bots to become life-like enough at this point.
