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.”

    I mean I’m all for these idiots spiraling down into LLM driven psychosis, at least that makes their insanity plainly visible instead of cloaked behind a thin veneer of futurism over tech billionaire feudalism
