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

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

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

I accidentally bought a protein powder that gains weight by mistake, can I still use it to lose weight if I only consume small portions? Or is it completely useless now?

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

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

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

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

What is the cost of living in Sweden as a family?

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?

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

It is a strange argument

Le Mans 24 Hours: Kubica wins with Ferrari as Porsche spoils 1-2-3 - Autosport

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

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

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

Why do you allow your cat to lie in bed with you?

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?
