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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

A cardiologist overhauled his diet to boost his longevity. Here's the grocery store path he takes to stick to his meal plan and avoid bad foods. - Business Insider

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

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?

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

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

Why is Hinduism not polytheistic?

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

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

Is it just me, or is it hard to find novels that are different compared to each other without the variety of them having to be a mystery/crime, and romance/fantasy?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

A second point is - the Moon Mission was 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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

It is a strange argument

What were the first few days, weeks, months and then years like after finding out about your spouses infidelity? How did your feelings, and yours & their approach to the situation change in the immediate aftermath compared to later down the line?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Was that a comparable argument ?

Zionists keep saying Israel “bought” the Palestinian’s land when the ownership was less than 5% prior to 1948. If Israel did indeed purchase majority of Palestinian land, why did the zionist state pass laws to confiscate Palestinian property?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

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

Why does poop smell bad?

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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
