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 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 critical areas that need AI models?

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

Im not transphobic/homophobic but, am I in the wrong for being uncomfortable when a trans person comes into the lockeroom? I just dont want them to stare at me while Im changing.

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 the necessary AI Talent?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

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

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?

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 my ex of 2 years move on so fast after he left me? Why does he act so cold towards me, and as if I don't exist?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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

If there is an abandoned house with no owner, can I live in it?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

How effective will the Senate-passed bill, S. 4569, the Take It Down Act, which would criminalize the publication of non-consensual intimate imagery (NCII) be?

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

It is a strange argument

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

Is it wrong that I picked to be a Christian (as a teenager/14-year-old) even with knowing all of the information about other religions/atheism?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission
