I’m not sure if they could picked a creeper way for it to stand up.

They’re not specific about that but I would guess not:

They say it’ll be stronger and have a broader range of motion but I would suspect that using electric motors rather than hydraulics means the more explosive leaping and acrobatics are out. The old Atlas was just a test platform but this seems to be intended as an actual product.
Can’t wait for those things to replace even the last human jobs in factories, just for humans to not benefit from that at all. Just like pretty much all of the other industrialized machinery that was once touted to save us time and make working irrelevant.
Typed on a computer whose components were manufactured by robots.
No reason to act willfully obtuse.
I’m pointing out a very obvious way in which automation does indeed help benefit humans in general. We have access to sophisticated products at very low prices compared to what it would be like if all this stuff was made “by hand.”
That’s cool, but you’re still ignoring the point I was making and interjected your own.
I’m addressing part of your point. You said:
With the clear implication that industrialized machinery hadn’t saved us time. That’s not the case.
Since your reading comprehension is terribly broken:
Machinery is used to increase GDP, not to reduce worker time. All your time savings are used for other work instead.
The stuff I mentioned above is made in factories. It results in cheaper products. That means you don’t have to save up as much money to get that stuff, which means you spend less time working for it.
How long would you have to work to earn enough to buy a computer if each computer was hand made?
That makes sense. The new form factor alone is impressive.
