Silicon Valley's artificial intelligence boom has not only created a new class of tech millionaires. It has generated a niche economy in which high-end escorts charge up to $6,000 (£4,500) per hour and $23,000 (£17,250) per day to discuss GPUs, neural networks, and longevity science with their wealthy clients.

A Forbes investigation published on 7 June profiled a handful of women who have built lucrative businesses around what one escort called a 'nerd-first' approach to companionship. Rather than relying solely on physical appeal, these women position themselves as genuinely fluent in the technical fixations of their clients: artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, biohacking and futurist philosophy.
