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?

It is a strange argument

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

How do we know that Taylor Swift was originally a brunette?

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

What do you think of casting Emma Watson as the next James Bond?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

‘Marathon’ NDA Alpha Leaks Show Visual Improvements, Detail New Additions - Forbes

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Aston Martin reveals track-day version of Valkyrie Le Mans Hypercar - Motorsport.com

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

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

What are some ways to help bring out natural curly/wavy hair?

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?

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

Don't miss the half-lit first quarter moon rise tonight — Here's what to look for - Space

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

How can Democrats not feel hypocritical when they urge Trump not to be vengeful should be become president when the Democrats are trying to put Trump into prison?

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

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

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

How did it feel to take your first gay BBC?

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