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?

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

Should parents be allowed to bring children into R-rated movies? What are the potential consequences of doing so?

It is a strange argument

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?

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

NASA and India to Launch a $1.5 Billion Revolutionary Satellite That Will Change Earth Observation Forever! - The Daily Galaxy

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

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

Why is Harry Sisson such a whiny hypocrite? He complained about President Trump going to the Super Bowl "costing millions of taxpayers' dollars," but not a word when Taylor Swift, another multimillionaire, did the same thing.

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Is it possible to achieve spiritual enlightenment while being in a romantic relationship?

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

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

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

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 AI Talent?

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

What is better, 4 more years of Trump with the media trying to hurt him, or 8 years of DeSantis with the media licking booty, or 4 to 8 years of RFK with the media hating on him all the time? (Biden is not an option, he can't win)

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

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?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission
