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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

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

Riddle: How do budget cuts, DEI hires, and empty reservoirs, turn the bluest, most Democrat city Red?

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

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

Ipsam commodi repudiandae aliquid.

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

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?

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

Why do so many people suddenly think it's acceptable to continue to live with their parents into adulthood?

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 critical areas that need AI models?

What is the best eye serum for dark circles?

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

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?

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

U.S. Space Force awards BAE Systems $1.2 billion contract for missile-tracking satellites - SpaceNews

It is a strange argument

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

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

Why did lobsters evolve bright colors if they are neither poisonous nor venomous?

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

Are romance novels of today still allowed to be bodice rippers, or do publishers not allow this sort of romance genre to exist anymore?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

FAA will restrict flights at Newark airport through end of year - NJ.com

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Which is more effective for joint pain relief: a red LED light or an infrared heat lamp? Is there a noticeable difference in the speed of pain relief between the two?
