Hey, this is not new. For me these are akin to a web dev building an ERP system vs another creative coder building beautiful motion graphics using same tech.
While the ERP is boring as hell compared the the creative coding results, the latter is novelty and often has no intrinsic value.
Also, I see these videos and get deja vu of boston dynamics demos from years back. Not seeing anything new here except this is just early beta version of boston dynamic robots backed by different models.
Also amount of people around the demo set tells me, a lot of supervision and retakes happened. I often do not trust such demos(experience from seeing what goes behind the scene with cherry picked takes being published).
Anyways, my point is, just chill out. I remember how AWS/GCP/Heroku etc were eradicating IT admin but instead now we have dedicated DevOps and IAM specialist roles… and every day I see 7:1 ratio of job vacancy for DevOps:SWE.
