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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

How did Trump's ear recover 100% from the "two centimeter wound" we were told of two weeks ago?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

What happened to the American Russell Bentley from Texas that was fighting for the pro-Russian commies?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

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

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

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

Is a light therapy mask a good investment?

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

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?

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

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Why do democrats want to believe that Trump wasnt hit by a bullet in the rally? Dont they know that you cant load a sniper rifle with glass intead of bullets?

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?

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

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

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Why would the state lie about the Earth's shape? We know that it's flat, but why do they lie and tell us that it is a sphere?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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 ?
