I don't see the problem on the source side, since it's just a more automated version of what we already had. #Science is not a closed endeavor.

Now, since they are selling this for commercial use, we have a problem of another kind. How will this info be used? Who will have (free) access to it?

The simple fact of the matter is, that we need something like this, and it needs to be done collectively such as we see in the Olympics, Space stations, or Global Monetary infrastructure. Or even-- wait for it.. the Interfriggenet.

The costs & benefits need to be adequately distributed to all of humanity, through a downward cascading set of densely connected nodes. (Review, critique, and citation by reputable sources.)

We do not need, planet survival notwithstanding, to have a circle-jerk of multinational corporate pirates competing to serve up supercomputer power to every conceivable trivial search made by the masses , made possible by the textbook 'freemium' scam that treats energy as freemium too.
