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?

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

Will ChatGPT make Quora obsolete?

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

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

How many books do you read in a week and what are they, could you share one?

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

What were Hitler’s habits?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

Chevy Teases a New Corvette 'X' to Debut Next Week - Road & Track

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

While wearing high heels and walking heel to toe, when the toe box hit the floor there is a noise. How do I keep the noise just for the heel?

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?

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 set up in place?

The Weekender: LSU Shreveport Baseball Has Perfect 59-0 Season, Cornell Wins Men's Lacrosse National Champions - Eleven Warriors

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

Analyst Suggests Apple Might be Considering Buying Unity After Legal Defeat to Epic Games - 80 Level

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

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

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?

Why am I so afraid that gun owners have set traps to kill me outside my house or my car?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

It is a strange argument

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Is it true that all men want a woman who looks like an Instagram “model”?
