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?

—

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

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?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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?

It is a strange argument

Do you think a lot of sociopaths' parents kill themselves for having brought such disgusting evil into the world? How much shame and disgust must they carry?

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

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

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

What is the best TV to consider from an interior design perspective?

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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