This is precisely my worry! While it says "a Stanford project" at the top, this could mean anything. It could in particular allude to the fact that Stanford professors are advisor. The advisors are well-known professors, but some, like Sebastian Thrun, have an entrepreneurial background, so probably a company sits behind this. For me, the entire project gets a NO CONFIDENCE vote because I can't tell who they are, who pays for moderation (which they claim to do etc.). I'd feel much more at ease if this was done by arXiv, or at least endorsed by arXiv.
