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?

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?

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

Why do some people dislike rap and hip hop music despite there being poor quality music in every genre?

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?

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

Costco's New Food Court Item Has Customers Divided: 'It's Offensive' - Delish

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

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

How did AI have a role in John Lennon's vocal performance on last year's Beatles song Now and Then, produced by Paul McCartney?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

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

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Could the guys here tell me how their first experience with a trans woman was? Who was the lady to you? ( I mean girlfriend, one night stand, etc.) I just had my first experience recently and I would like to know about others?

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?

It is a strange argument

Andrew Tate said the covid is a scam and only dorks get vaccinated. Is it true?

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 set up in place?

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