Bonus points if the new Atlas also runs on all fours when it needs to go faster.

Because renders are good enough now that real-life video "looks like a render", I guess. Why do you think it's a render?
Yes, I do. Perhaps not the current generation of hardware, but the chip manufacturers are currently throwing hundreds of billions of dollars into designing the next generation of AI-specialized hardware so I expect the next generation to be very impressive. The software has also been getting more efficient, making better use of the hardware that already exists. I've been experimenting a lot with it.
Of course I'm concerned about it. That's why I would take measures to ensure the information is well protected. I already run local LLMs and image generators for most of the stuff I use AI for, both to ensure that I have control over what sort of outputs they generate and to keep any inputs I run through them private. An AGI assistant like what I'm describing is something I would want to run on my own hardware too.
I am quite sure it'll cost less than it would to hire a human for the job.
The article itself doesn't really clear it up, IMO.
The headline was confusing and reading the article doesn't really clear things up. I don't think Gill is imagining the same sort of "pretend person" that I would want out of AGI. What I want is a personal assistant that knows me extremely well, is able to tirelessly work on my behalf, and has a personality tailored to my needs and interests. It should be general enough to understand me on a personal level and do a good job anticipating what I want.
That would not at all be a waste of energy to me.
I want a robot butler.
The intersection between "people clever enough to fix this" and "people stupid enough to believe in it" is likely quite small.
They may be scrambling for the "people clever enough to fix this and morally bankrupt enough to do it simply for money" IT guys right now, which sadly is probably a bit larger.
They've never had this feature before.
And as far as I'm aware Copilot is a free service.
