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

What do all Indian parents have in common?

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

American Airlines plane diverted because it was too big to land at airport - WKRC

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

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

It is a strange argument

How do you get free followers on TikTok in 5 minutes?

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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Answer me this. These days guys love anal sex right, if you present them with your ass they will happily nail you into the ground. So why do some guys think it's "sissy" to let women stick a finger up their ass?

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

PC modding repository Nexus Mods has a new owner - The Verge

Was that a comparable argument ?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

According to the prediction of Mr. Huang, the founder of Nvidia, humanoid AI robots will flood all over the world in the future, so will there be many robots on the earth while there will be fewer and fewer humans?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

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?

Can shaving hair by Veet in our vagina cause diseases?

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

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

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

I told my 13-year-old daughter that she should never start a fight, but has my permission to end it. She got suspended for ending a fight that some other girl picked with her by hitting her then retreating. How do I handle the school’s response?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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?
