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?

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

How can you know if they are your twin flame and not limerence or obsession?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

Is it harder to become a professor nowadays? If yes, why?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

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?

Most companies are already raising prices or plan to because of tariffs, data shows - CNBC

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

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

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

How can I be okay with being ugly? What is the bright side?

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

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Was that a comparable 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

Since the Brits can't steer their oil tanker, what makes them think they can take on Russia?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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

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

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?

Why do men say women hit the wall at 24?

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

What is the future of AI in interior design?
