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?

It is a strange argument

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

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?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Canadians went out of their way to help Americans stranded in Canada after 9.11.2001. Why did Canadians help so much the way they did? We read that Canadians don't particularly like Americans to begin with.

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

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

Is it true that in 2028 there will be a new AIDS variant that will wipe out all the LBGTQ+ people?

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

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

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?

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 introverts celebrate their birthday?

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

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

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

What are "demonic attacks" and how can one tell when they're happening to them, or someone else? How would one go about dealing with it?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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
