Training something like this costs millions. It's not going to be useful to many people because of it's size/the cost of doing anything with it.

I don't think that giving alms justified the existence of feudal Lords. In the same way, I think the fact that nation states can't keep up with the research expenditure of a few rich men (think space travel), shows us that we have a problem. That said, it does represent a fairly generous donation to science, start-ups, or whatever.
