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?

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

Was that a comparable 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?

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

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

If English makes 3 additional gender terms to accommodate for XXX, XXY, and XYY people, what would be the most realistic terms for those genders?

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?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

I am 26 now. I have wasted my 4 years of my life on government job preparation. I had put all my effort to get a job, but did not succeed. What should I do now?

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

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

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

Why do people mourn when their leaders lose elections? Is it common for people to cry over events that are out of their control?

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

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

It is a strange argument
