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 set up in place?

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

What are some negative effects of ADHD meds?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

It is a strange argument

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

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

Why do you think it is bad to allow people to self-identify as a different gender?

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

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?

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

Should the United States help Ukraine against Russia?

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

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

Why are you a Muslim? Why is it Islam for you and not something else?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

Did the Brits ever carry out high-profile, high-risk missions in World War II like the Americans did with a U-110 in the fictional movie “U-571”?
