Former Google bigwig launches AI "church" that positions technology as GOD

It might be tempting to crack jokes about today's smartphone-obsessed youth seeming to worship their devices, but for one man, the concept of technology as a deity is reaching disturbing heights. Former Google executive Anthony Levandowski has filed IRS paperwork to establish an official religion devoted to technology. Not only will this bizarre religion worship scientific progress, but it will also worship artificial intelligence and create a "godhead." According to his filing, this new non-profit religious organization, which will be known as "Way of the Future," will "develop and promote the realization of a Godhead based on artificial intelligence and through understanding and worship of the Godhead [to] contribute to the betterment of society." The papers show Levandowski as the "dean," or leader, of the new religion and the CEO of a nonprofit corporation that he has set up for the purposes of running it.
