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?

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

Do you think covid 19 was never as bad as it got made out to be where we needed lockdowns and restrictions?

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

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?

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

What was the worst spanking you ever got? Why did you get it, and how was it given to you?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

It is a strange argument

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

What might be the social consequences of an ethnic as opposed to a civic conception of the nation?

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

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?

Transportation chief seeks to weaken fuel economy standards, calls Biden-era rule ‘illegal’ - AP News

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

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

What if you were the only and last person left on Earth. How will you survive and what would you do with your life?

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

Tony Awards 2025 Snubs and Surprises: Nicole Scherzinger, Audra McDonald and More - Variety

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

What does it mean when someone is pretending to be me?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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

In 2019, We Discovered a Fungus That Metabolizes Gold — Some Already Want to Use These Organisms as the Key to Mining in Space - Indian Defence Review

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?

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