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

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

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

Artists get better with age, e.g., painting. Yet when it comes to pop music, the famous work tends to be written when musicians are in their twenties. So, why aren't Bob Dylan or the Stones banging out amazing tunes now?

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

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?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

My girlfriend lied and said she never gave oral until me. She was very skilled. I’m upset with her lying. Do I dump her?

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

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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Can you summarize season 1 of "The Acolyte"?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

A child had measles at Mall of America, concerning state health officials who don’t know source - Star Tribune

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

It is a strange argument

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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

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

Did Trump show us once again that he is a master debater?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Was that a comparable argument ?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Which sunscreen cream is best for oily skin?

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

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

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

Boris Johnson says that “Starmer picked a fraudster for his Cabinet because he is the fraudster-in-chief. And he knows, in his heart, that the whole government is a fraud.” Do you agree with Boris Johnson about Starmer?
