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?

It is a strange argument

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

—

What do people with very high IQs do all day?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

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

Are there any good YA romantasy/regular romance books for Christians? (preferably romantasy if possible)

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?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Is it possible for the AfD to ever win the chancellorship in Germany?

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

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

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

Is using tech to track or monitor your partner’s activities a sign of love, insecurity, or control?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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

Meta Agreed to Pay up for Scale AI but Then Wanted More for Its Money - The Information

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

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

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

Horoscope for Tuesday, June 24, 2025 - chicago.suntimes.com

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

Was that a comparable argument ?
