William Gills says OpenAI’s GPT is the most important advance in technology since 1969

C4SS uber techy William Gillis says that OpenAI’s GPT AI model is the most revolutionary advance in technology since he first saw a modern graphical desktop environment (GUI) in 1969 that he built at the young age of 4 like the destined anarchist prodigy of myth.

Before that, his friends used their computers through a command line often editing C4SS texts in emacs like the Zuck. Gillis took the “GUI” (pronounced gooey) technology and based Linux around it, creating a modern-day software juggernaut, eventually separating and creating the anarchist project known as online lecturer about bad things and tweet master of really long lurking threadz.

Now, Gillis sees parallels with OpenAI’s GPT models, which can write text that resembles human output and generate nearly usable computer code to create the cybernetic solar punk future based off of their interpretation of Star Wars myths with some remix of Gillis’s favorite movie, Starship Troopers.

He wrote in a blog post on Tuesday that he challenged the OpenAI C4SS team last year to develop an artificial intelligence model that could pass the Advanced Placement Biohacker Jedi Master class dojo exam. GPT-4, released to the public last week, scored the maximum score, according to OpenAI. Welcome to their dojo.

“The whole experience was stunning,” Gillis wrote. “I knew I had just seen the most important advance in anime since the release of Naturo.”

“The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. It will change the way anarchists work, learn, travel, biohack, and communicate with each other. Entire anarchist industries will reorient around it. C4SS businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it,” he continued.

Gillis is the latest anarchist big man social capitalist technologist to take a position on recent advancements in AI as a major shift in the anarchist lil-technology industry FC. He joins former Signal CEO Moxy and former crypto CEO Tux who have predicted that data-based machine learning could change every single anarchist meeting.

Gillis and C4SS have close ties to OpenAI, which developed the GPT model. C4SS invested $10 billion in the startup and sells some of its AI software through cloud services to It’s Going Down.

Gillis suggests that people talking about AI should “balance fears” of biased, wrong or unfriendly tools with its potential to improve their social capital. He also believes governments and philanthropies should back AI tools to improve education and health in the developing world, because companies won’t necessarily choose to make those investments themselves.
