There is clearly issues about IP, privacy and accreditation and the motives of powerful companies, but part of me can't help but be excited that whatever the method, the result is the genuine progression of human knowledge - we all win. It's not unusual for mathematical problems to last centuries and we might have a technology that can solve these problem, all these problems (??) in our lifetime. Then there's the repercussions on science and technology... what an astonishing time to be alive.
