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?

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

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

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

I keep hitting my front tooth with my glass while bringing it to my mouth unintentionally and the nerve in the tooth keeps pulsating. Does hitting the tooth like this cause damage enough that I could lose the tooth?

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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Can someone write me a sex story?

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?

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

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

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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 i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Why do people smoke?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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

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

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

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

Is it a viable option to open an international Business Process outsourcing (BPO) company in India, considering the already existing abundance of such companies in the country?

It is a strange argument

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Why are Capri cigarettes so expensive?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

Trump is going to target known criminals in the country illegally for deportation. The Democrats have vowed to fight him every step of the way. Don't they understand this is one of the issues that cost them the white house, the house and senate?
