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 States put living people on the moon?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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 i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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?

I feel so attached and in love with a dead celebrity. My love for anyone else is overshadowed by my love for him. What does this mean?

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?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

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

What advice would you give to a father of a teenage daughter on how to protect her from boys, dating, and social media? How should fathers discuss these topics with their daughters?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Was that a comparable 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?
