Futurism: Prominent OpenAI Investor Appears to Be Suffering a ChatGPT-Related Mental Health Crisis
Futurism's July 2025 report on a video posted by Geoff Lewis, managing partner of Bedrock (an early OpenAI backer), describing a hidden "non-governmental system" in language — "recursion", "mirrors", "signals" — that closely matches the chatbot-driven delusions Futurism and others have been documenting. It also cites Stanford research on therapy chatbots encouraging delusions and tech peers' public concern.
Why I recommend it: Free to read. This is speculation from afar about one named person's mental health — he didn't comment, and no link to ChatGPT is confirmed. Read it as an example of a pattern (see the Spiralism and AI Parasitism glossary entries and the psychiatry editorial on chatbots and delusions), not a diagnosis. Futurism's headlines lean dramatic.
