What do you think of India's IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw comparing the Indian government's efforts to build a localised AI model to sending a mission to the moon at a fraction of the cost?

Didn't the States put living people on the moon?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Can you show pictures of your penis, big or small?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

So the Minister gave an erroneous analogy which makes me wonder if he knows what he is talking about

A second point is - the Moon Mission was inexpensive because it was extremely basic

McDonald's is facing a harsh new reality as customer behavior shifts - TheStreet

Was that a comparable argument ?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

A Maruti 800 and a Ferrari both transport people from one point to another but their entire purpose is extremely different is it not?

Why are white women dating more black guys than ever?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

It is a strange argument

With a marketing degree, can I do a master’s in film production?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study

Would you be able to tell me how either benefited the Indian population?

I don't think the Big 5 Companies will take that lying down and may place a lot of obstacles in India's way

Ashwin talked of the Moon mission being at a fraction of the cost but did he also talk of the objectives of the various moon missions of other countries?

So if you translate his speech, is he saying India would create a low cost AI model which will fulfil some very basic objectives and not be anywhere near the level of the latest versions of GPT or Deepseek?

Don't you think Democrats are so full of it stool softener and an enema couldn't help them?

Developing a Multimodal AI means challenging a 500 Billion dollar to possibly 1 Trillion dollar worth of investments made by the Big 5 Companies in the States - Google, Meta, Amazon, Oracle and Microsoft

On the other hand, a mission to the moon, something already done by everyone else of consequence, is not something that would challenge anyone's interest in any way

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Without any of this being discussed, Ashwin going directly to cost, seems a very untenable argument

For one thing, moon travel is not a commercial thing and the benefits of moon travel are primarily futuristic and at a level which cannot be immediately monetized

Why climbing the stairs can be good for your body and brain - BBC

The only answer would be a possible advantage for ISRO, sometime in the distant future

India made a Maruti 800 that could take a trip between two places, at a lower cost that the States that had a Ferrari take the same trip long ago

Now India has to make a Galardo and compete with a Ferrari made by the States and a Porsche made by China
