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?

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

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

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

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

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

What do you think about Vivian Jenna Wilson's decision to speak out against her father, Elon Musk, in a public interview with NBC News?

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

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

It is a strange argument

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

How is Sola Scriptura incoherent?

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Why is squid ink safe to eat, while skunk spray is not? What makes the two liquids different from each other?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

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

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?

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

Republican Trump is a billionaire, president, won't be held accountable for multiple felonies, and pretty much has whatever he wants. So why is he always whining and crying about stupid, pointless stuff? Is he incapable of happiness?
