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?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Can Benadryl cause a false positive for benzodiazepines?

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

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

NASA robot for drilling on icy moons tested on Alaskan glacier - Ars Technica

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

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

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?

Harvey Weinstein Won’t Testify In His Own Defense In NYC Sex Crimes Retrial; Jury Deliberations May Start Tuesday - Deadline

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

Why do so many FtM people act like MtF people don't exist and what the hell am I supposed to do as an MtF person?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

How do the police verify the authenticity of an online profile? What methods do they use to determine if a profile is real or fake?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

The States and China, they did a lot more in Mars than India did in terms of exploration and study

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

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?

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

Can trans people tell me what the criteria for a woman is excluding self identification (facts do not rely on self belief)?

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

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

It is a strange argument

Has the time come for Ukraine to come to terms with Russia since the situation on the battlefield is clearly hopeless at this point?
