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?

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

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

How can someone feel more FTM when AMAB?

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

What are some ways to drive women crazy while many men don't know?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

The truth about using cannabis for health problems - The Washington Post

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Why do men love to stink/being smelly?

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

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

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

Mars Orbiter Captures Rare View of Ancient Volcano Poking Above the Clouds - Gizmodo

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

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?

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

Is Donald Trump's very public crusade against the so-called "woke" and illegal immigration an asset or liability to the popularity of right-wing parties in Europe?

It is a strange argument

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Can you provide a list of cities named after animals and the animals they were named after?
