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?

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

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 I keep dreaming of my mom, who recently passed away from cancer, still being sick and in pain?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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

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?

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

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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Why did losers ban TikTok?

Was that a comparable argument ?

It is a strange argument

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

What are the reasons behind the belief that paper straws are harmful to the environment, despite being recyclable and biodegradable?

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

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

Which country do you recommend for me to live in, England, the USA, Italy, Spanish, or Austria?

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

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

I’m 26 years old and a married woman. My husband hates my flat chest. What is the permanent solution?

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

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

What was your best revenge story?
