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?

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

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?

It is a strange argument

Is it wise to SECRETLY expose a narcissist by telling others that he/she is a covert narcissist?

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

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

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

'No Kings' protests against Trump planned nationwide to coincide with military parade - NPR

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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?

In what circumstances might a chaperone be appropriate for a medical examination?

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

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?

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

A kid threw a stone at my car. I confronted his mom (who was nearby). She said, "You can't prove it was my son." How should I have reacted?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Was that a comparable argument ?

Why does the USA continue to be the driver of the world economy?

Your Mars mission was also 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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

How long will it take for the USA to effectively remove it self from the global economy that many US politicians especially Donald Trump seems to dislike? Will this isolationist policy last after his presidency or will it be quickly dropped?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

We white women don't like white men. Do you have any issue with that?
