@alexolegimas talks about how relational work is where jobs are trending with AI.

An unexpected canary in this direction?

Anna Tong@annatonger

Five years ago, it was rare for escorts to charge more than $1K per hour. Now, a handful of women charge much, much more: $3k, $5k an hour. $23k a day. $30k a weekend.

These Silicon Valley dick lords can’t even spend their money on something cool.

They are pathetic and unimaginative in a slow and smoldering sort of way.

Masters of the Universe, I’ve been told. The best and brightest from all over the world, I’ve been told.

People like this see zero problem with exploiting people and children, which Roblox and Facebook have proven beyond the shadow of a doubt.

A small group of high-end companions are charging time-poor technorati thousands an hour by offering a blend of sex, attention and genuine intellectual rapport.

@eigenrobot guarantee one could find an almost identical article on this exact topic from Germany circa 1919-1929.

@john_malone @eigenrobot No - the masters of the universe are the m&a dudes. Those guys are getting cosmetic surgery, a nice car, maybe some gear, and smashing puss the old-fashioned way
