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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

What's an uncomfortable truth you've learned to accept?

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

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 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?

It is a strange argument

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?

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

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

Why do the Republican city officials at Springfield Ohio continue to deny that immigrants are eating pets to sabotage the Trump campaign, even though immigrant pet-eating is now widely believed to be true?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Has anyone experienced an out of the body experience, as a child, years before you had ever heard the term or understood the implications?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

I'm a 28-year-old guy who has never been in a relationship, nor can I seem to find someone who wants to be in one with me. Why do I feel like a freak?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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?

How often do prisoners try to escape from jail/prison, and how many of them succeed?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Was that a comparable argument ?
