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?

—

Was that a comparable argument ?

It is a strange argument

Besides the religion, what's the difference between Arabs and Jews, if they are the same people from the same part of the Middle East?

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

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

Were the 1980s as uptight and prudish as movies and TV shows make them out to be? When I think of 80s culture, I think about a very "icky" judgmental yuppie status quo time period.

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

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?

How mentally ill are Republicans who think Trump is mentally sane? He literally said immigrants eat pets.

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

What are some suggestions for books in English and Marathi language for my daughter for summer holiday? She is 15 years old.

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?

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

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?

Why do narcissists devour so much sugar (candy, ice cream, donuts, etc., in huge amounts at a time)?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

McDonald's is facing a harsh new reality as customer behavior shifts - TheStreet

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

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

Why did Lord Shiva lust after Mohini - how can he be the supreme and worthy of devotion if he did such a thing?

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

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

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