Interestingly, this comment gets a lot of downvotes.

If you don't want to help improve the world, then how are you expecting things to become better?

I understand that people don't like it that this will give Google an advantage. But what is the proper alternative? We have no non-profit organizations who could muster the money to build these systems. I suppose those who are critical of large companies would also be critical of governments building these systems.

So is what you (downvoters) propose here to just complain and do nothing about it? I'd be curious to hear what alternatives you propose.
