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?

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?

It is a strange argument

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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?

Where can I sell naked pics of myself online?

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

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

What do you think, TikTok is nothing but another porn site? Do you agree or not? Why?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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

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

I am so tired of ignorant people like you calling us far rights, why democrats is so educated, they take things from their own mouth, you guys are totalitarian party?

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?

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

Why are people adopting DeepSeek's AI when its answers are so obviously biased toward the Chinese worldview propaganda?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Was that a comparable argument ?
