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?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

Why do Argentinians use "vos" instead of "tú" in informal speech?

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

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

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

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

It is a strange argument

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

What are the possible reasons for people feeling depressed after the holiday season? Why does being alone exacerbate these feelings?

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

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?

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

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?

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

Cum at omnis doloremque totam.

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

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

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

Why would a man be interested in an ordinary woman while there are very beautiful and fabulous women?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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