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?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Trump says U.S. will get rare earth minerals from China and tariffs on Chinese goods will total 55% under new trade framework - PBS

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

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

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

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 do you think is the most powerful line in the song "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" by Édith Piaf?

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?

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 the timing of OpenAI’s deployment of Times-trained multimodal models coinciding with Microsoft’s boost in market capitalization in the past year just a coincidence?

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

It is a strange argument

Will my parents go to hell if I don't wear hijab, they tried to convince me and they provided it to me but I don't want to wear it?

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

Was that a comparable 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

What is a challenge you never want to face?

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

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 the necessary set up in place?

What is one harsh truth about people's opinions on TXT?

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

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

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

What are some small, random things that annoy you to no end?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

What is your best gay fantasy?
