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?

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

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

What does it mean when a guy says he doesn't want to ruin the friendship? Is he rejecting me or is there another explanation? Why would a guy choose not to risk the friendship if he has feelings for me?

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

Was that a comparable 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?

Are there really people who still believe the Earth is flat?

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?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Recursion lays off 20% of staff in wake of pipeline cutbacks - Fierce Biotech

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

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 do you think they're treating Diddy worse than Tate? Is it because of racism?

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

Roster rankings: PFF gives an ugly grade to the Browns roster - Dawgs By Nature

It is a strange argument

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Deion Sanders is home in Texas dealing with an unspecified health issue - NBC Sports

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 critical areas that need AI models?

Pharmacy group withholds endorsing CDC's latest vaccine recommendations - AOL.com

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

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?
