🚀 Evan Luthra quotes a Forbes article detailing how Silicon Valley escorts with expertise in AI, GPUs, crypto, and tech topics now charge $3,000–$6,000 per hour or up to $23,000 per day, often booked months ahead by AI founders, Nvidia engineers, and researchers. - The post highlights that many clients primarily seek extended conversations and intellectual engagement rather than sex, as AI makes simulated companionship abundant while authentic human interaction becomes a scarce luxury. - Luthra frames this as an economic shift where technological revolutions create new scarcities, positioning real human connection—complete with challenges, boredom, and presence—as the premium offering AI cannot replicate.
