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?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

What is the cause of the UK Riots 2024? What are the motivating factors and driving forces behind them?

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

Why is squid ink safe to eat, while skunk spray is not? What makes the two liquids different from each other?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Is "Cancel Culture" a Threat to Free Speech? Many argue that cancel culture has gone too far, leading to the silencing of unpopular opinions or voices. But is it really a violation of free speech or a consequence of people holding others accountable?

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?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

What do you think of Obito Uchiha?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

Do you remember one day, you put a deep smile on someone's face and made them very happy?

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

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

SpaceX adds 27 Starlink satellites to constellation after successful launch from California (video) - Space

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

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

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

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?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

How do I achieve thick, straight, and shiny hair? Right now my hair is very dry, dead, poofy, fine, and a yucky mix between wavy and straight. How do I add volume and make my hair more straight?

It is a strange argument

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 Chinese ones bring some soil back?
