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?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

With a housing crisis going on, should we make owning properties illegal?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

My religion teacher said that there are no atheists because in order to reject God, you must first have a concept of God, and if you have a concept of God, you are not an atheist. In what way is this true, if at all? Why?

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

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?

Was that a comparable argument ?

What are some cute stories with your crush?

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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?

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

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

It is a strange argument

What are some very specific groups of people you just cannot stand?

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

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

Humans have evolved and become hairless and odor free. How do other races learn about evolution since evolution does not apply to them?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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
