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?

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

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?

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?

How do you identify a fake whey protein gold standard?

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

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

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

🔥Why has Prime Narendra Modi become Extremely FRUSTRATED and Highly DEPRESSED because he has NOT been invited by Donald Trump to witness his Oath Ceremony for his INAUGURATION on 20th January as the next PRESIDENT of USA? Does the DESPERATE Narendra Modi FEAR that Donald Trump's actions may even LEAD to the FALL of the BJP-led MINORITY Government in India, as such actions have already caused GREAT PANIC in the NDA Coalition?

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

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 set up in place?

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

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

What should I be looking for when trying out running shoes? Local store lets me try the shoe and jog up and down the block, but they mostly feel the same to me. Is there some feeling or anything else specific I should be looking for?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

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 critical areas that need AI models?

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

At what point did you realize it was the right time to leave your job?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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