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?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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

Why do nice guys rarely or never win?

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?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Are there any queer Space Marine Legion in Warhammer 30k or 40k?

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

Is it ethical for same-sex couples to raise children?

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

It is a strange argument

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

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