No surprise that, in keeping with the hacker spirit, Bill wanted to democratize information that is otherwise accessible only to "high" priests.

If you have ever had the experience you will want to share with the world and give everyone the opportunity to experience it.

Is this different from regular DMT?

Yes. Regular DMT is N,N-DMT, Atkinson's Jaguar is 5-MeO-DMT. They have been referred to as "the power and the glory" respectively. 5-MeO-DMT is regarded as one of the most powerful and profound psychedelics, even when compared to N,N-DMT.

On DMT, you meet elves. On 5-MeO-DMT you hear every voice in the universe at once. Quite a step up, but both last like 15 minutes, max.
