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 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?

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

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

Can the United States threaten the UK with destroying its economy to force it into anything, just like what happened in the Suez Crisis?

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?

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

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

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?

Can you show pictures of your penis, big or small?

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

If the Red Pill is supposed to be so bad, why are so many young men buying into it? What about Red Pill makes it appealing to them?

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

Were knights’ lances practical weapons, or were they just for sports?

It is a strange argument

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

Nike on Amazon; Nike’s Disastrous Pivot; Inevitability, Intentionality, and Amazon - Stratechery by Ben Thompson

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?

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

What are people discussing on BookTok?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?
