Former Google engineer Anthony Levandowski, who has apparently formed a new Silicon Valley-based religion, Its purpose, according to previously unreported state filings, is nothing less than to “develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence.”

Many people around the world believe in the Singularity—the day in our near future when computers will surpass humans, When that day comes, Anthony Levandowski will be firmly safe as he will be on the side of the machines, for the time being we’ll just have to wait until further instruction from thats so called 'future god', and hope we do nothing to anger it in the meantime.

Uncovered  by Wired, who found that in 2015 Levandowski founded documents that showed how Levandowski has positioned himself as the CEO and President of Way of the Future. Perhaps he's trying to act like the messenger of the BOT god

It is presumed that humans have always adapted and changed their religion and deities to fit with the changing times and changing technology. From the advent of agriculture killing the spirits worshipped by hunter-gatherers, or perhaps even the god of fire and volcanoes being co-opted by steelworkers, this is a common occurrence in communities throughout history. So perhaps the development of such religion is not that surprising in the long run.

This sounds so bizarre but the truth is it might be a while before Levandowski can devote his entire attention to the new Godhead, as he is currently mired in a billion dollar lawsuit between two of the biggest plays in Silicon Valley, as two of his former employees face off against each other. Google is claiming that Levandowski stole trade secrets from self driving cars technology in a bid to replicate the technology for Uber, and is seeking a $1.9 billion in damages, this burden might deteriorate him completely.
