Earlier this week, a prominent venture capitalist named Geoff Lewis — managing partner of the multi-billion dollar investment firm Bedrock, which has backed high-profile tech companies including OpenAI and Vercel — posted a disturbing video on X-formerly-Twitter that’s causing significant concern among his peers and colleagues.
“This isn’t a redemption arc,” Lewis says in the video. “It’s a transmission, for the record. Over the past eight years, I’ve walked through something I didn’t create, but became the primary target of: a non-governmental system, not visible, but operational. Not official, but structurally real. It doesn’t regulate, it doesn’t attack, it doesn’t ban. It just inverts signal until the person carrying it looks unstable.”
In the video, Lewis seems concerned that people in his life think he is unwell as he continues to discuss the “non-governmental system.”
Remember in the movie the Matrix. He gives the guy something and he says “My own personal Jesus Christ”.
Mescaline, man. It’s the only way to fly.
Someone to hear your prayers, someone who’s there.
There is “someone” there now and it’s pretty good at making you feel that someone really understands what you think, at last …
Even while working in a more tech oriented environment, after solving tasks, it gets out of line, somewhat. For instance, it said i should take a few hours off right now and enjoy some me time, because i worked like a champ.
I mean, sure, if my boss would be the one saying that. But he’s the one that forced us to integrate AI into our workflow in the first place.
Something more and more people are experiencing at work, i suppose.
