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?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

It is a strange argument

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

How do you deal with a neighbor stealing?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

If freedom of speech is absolute, how come it's not applied for private spaces and for the Internet?

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 i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

If a non-LGBT man (of any age) from a Western country attracts far more mosquitoes than potential dates, what does that say about him?

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

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Democrats be honest, how many of you were wishing that Musk rescue space flight blew up?

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?

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

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

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

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?

What are the pros and cons of banning homosexuality?

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

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