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

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

Since the rise of feminism, the dating market has shifted to the disadvantage of men and that is causing this incel phenomenon. Why do women not understand how lonely the majority of men are?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

Was that a comparable argument ?

Andy Roddick can't believe what's happened to tennis after Roland Garros finishes, 'I certainly didn't expect it' - The Tennis Gazette

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Gene Hackman’s Wife Died of Hantavirus. Now the Rodent-Borne Disease Is Spreading in the U.S. - AOL.com

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Why am I not losing weight despite eating 1500 calories daily? Male 24y 161kg 174cm and obese. My calorie tracking is on point, I mostly eat prepackaged food and occasionally cook for myself measuring only the raw ingredients, yes including the oil.

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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Why do most people care so much about what others think? Are they afraid of society norms?

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

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

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

Do you prefer wired headphones or wireless earbuds?

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?

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?

When was the first time your wife had beastiality?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

It is a strange argument

Google says its updated Gemini 2.5 Pro AI model is better at coding - TechCrunch

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

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

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

Is there any evidence to support the existence of people who have experienced "gangstalking"? Or is it a psychological phenomenon?
