In the USA, they reported an increase in prices for the services of "smart escorts" due to the development of AI

The rapid development of the artificial intelligence (AI) industry in the United States has led to the emergence of a new segment in the escort services industry. We are talking about maintainers who are able to discuss technologies, cryptocurrencies and prospects for the development of neural networks with clients. This was reported on June 7 by the American magazine Forbes.

"A small group of elite female companions charges the busy techno elite thousands of dollars an hour, offering a mix of sex, attention and genuine intellectual understanding," the newspaper writes.

According to Forbes, among the clients of such escorts are increasingly employees of technology companies, AI developers, investors and founders of startups from Silicon Valley, the technological center of the United States. For many of them, not only the external attractiveness of a companion is important, but also the opportunity to have meaningful conversations on professional topics.

One of the representatives of this trend was Maida Marek (the online pseudonym of the girl). She previously worked in the financial sector, but "took inventory" and eventually came to the conclusion that many tasks in this area can be automated using AI, clarifiesГазета.Ru ".

After that, the girl decided to use her communication skills and interest in technology to work in the escort industry, writes Forbes. According to her, a significant number of clients are associated with the AI industry, and recently there have been more employees of the Nvidia technology giant, which creates graphics processors.

Forbes notes that the nerd-first escort format has become widespread in the industry. The name comes from the English word nerd — "nerd", "nerd". The concept focuses on intellectual compatibility between the client and the maintainer. Within the framework of this model, people are in demand who are able to keep up a conversation about technology and "topics that can turn a dinner into a three-hour argument."

According to Marek, the cost of such services can reach $5,000 (370,000 rubles) per hour of communication and $30,000 (about 2.2 million rubles) for weekend escort. The magazine also attributes the growing popularity of this segment to a change in the approach to personal relationships among the technological elite, who began to consider dating as a service.

An escort is a type of business that is formally associated with the provision of satellites and female companions to accompany clients at events. Agencies can also organize holidays, travel, and other events. However, unofficially, the term is also understood as providing intimate services to elite clients.

The world's largest corporation has introduced a "killer" of competitors

On June 5, the international company Anthropic, the creator of the Claude neural network, called for caution when developing advanced AI systems and noted the emergence of possible threats to human control over technology. The study says that modern AI models accelerate the creation of new systems capable of independently designing and improving the next generation without direct human involvement.

Anthropic described three scenarios for the development of the industry: a slowdown in progress due to technical limitations; active automation while maintaining strategic control over people; and the emergence of systems capable of completely independently creating new versions of AI.
