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

—

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

Why do women wear less clothes compared to men?

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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

How will Israelis respond to someone claiming that anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism, in the same way as anti-feminism not being misogyny and opposing same-sex marriage not being homophobia?

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

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

Why does my 5-year-old daughter keep repeating the words 'they will come for us, they will find us and touch us'? I'm quite scared.

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?

Was that a comparable argument ?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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

Liberals, why can't you admit that Andrew Tate is the most moral and intelligent person of modern time?

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

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

How much weight will I lose in the first month on a keto diet?

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

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

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