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?

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

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

England is launching a gonorrhea vaccine. Is Canada next? - Yahoo

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

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?

How do you emotionally react to when others seem to feel sorry for you?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

How do you have intercourse with a girl who can remember you for a long time?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Was that a comparable argument ?

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

Is it just me, or is it hard to find novels that are different compared to each other without the variety of them having to be a mystery/crime, and romance/fantasy?

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

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 India currently capable of implementing a multimodal artificial intelligence system?

It is a strange argument

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

What are the cities in England, UK that have trams?

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

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

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

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?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

Why did Cartman love Heidi purely with heart, her being the first one he ever did, but then one day Butters tells him that all women are manipulative and then he began to believe that she was a bad person and pretended to be a victim?

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?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?
