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?

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?

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

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

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

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 ?

How can I get the audio of only the dialogue of a movie, without any sound effects or music? I really need it for a fan edit.

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

Why do most atheists in debates with theists take Bible verses out of context much of the time? Are they lying maliciously or do they not understand theology enough to understand the meaning?

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?

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

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

It is day 42 of the Trump administration. Is the war in Ukraine over? Is inflation solved? Are groceries cheaper?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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?
