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?

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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

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 critical areas that need AI models?

Is it okay for a wife who comes home from a date to tell her husband what she did?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

How do so-called Religious/Christian people really think homosexuality is even a sin? That would be nonsense. In fact, LGBT people need love instead of contempt/hatred. The word Homosexual didn't appear until the 1850s.

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

It is a strange argument

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

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?

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

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

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

I committed the unpardonable sin. God immediately punished me so that I can no longer think like before and my brain is as if paralyzed and does not work. I've tried everything (confession, repentance, etc.) nothing helps. Any advice?

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?

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

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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?

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?
