A couple of weeks ago, both Stripe and Boston Dyanmics launched products called Atlas. Boston Dynamics’ Atlas is a humanoid-robot that looks like the future: Stripe’s Atlas lets anyone in the world create a company in the United States, for $500, promising “global access to startup tools”: In the Greek mythology, Atlas is a Titan who was condemned to hold the world on his back. One titan is a robot who will obviously be able to lift stuff instead of having us humans lift it.
