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?

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

It is a strange argument

How should I handle my co-worker (he’s 15 years older than me) who often subtly belittles me and push his work to me?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

How long can a marriage survive after a long-term affair?

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

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 Chinese ones bring some soil back?

I caught my neighbor leaving his 12-year-old son home alone and he has not come back in 6 hours. Should I call CPS?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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?

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

Scientists have just discovered an ocean at the Earth's core, challenging our understanding of the universe. - Farmingdale Observer

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?

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

Can you give an example of a documentary where the person telling the story believed it to be true, but it turned out to be false?

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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