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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

Why do people keep complaining about how some people copy and paste the question before answering it? To me, it's very disturbing and makes me want to block and mute them as annoying whiners.

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

How do I confess to my crush who had a traumatic past with his previous partner without losing the friendship?

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

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

It is a strange argument

Stroll needed "urgent medical attention" for pain after qualifying - FIA · F1 - RaceFans

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

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

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

I abandoned my Steam Deck for a year – but Nvidia GeForce Now has made it a Nintendo Switch 2 killer - Tom's Guide

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

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

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?

These are the key witnesses who testified against Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs so far - CNN

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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

What do you think of OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stepping down from the committee responsible for reviewing the safety of models such as o1?

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

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?

What is your biggest mistake or regret?
