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

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

What are 50 random facts about yourself?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

Assumenda assumenda cum ducimus iste enim eos dolores molestiae.

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

Vel expedita omnis impedit modi earum itaque ut.

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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?

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

Why is it so common for married white women to have an affair with black men? Does it bother white guys?

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

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

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

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