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?

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

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

How was your first cuckolding experience as a husband?

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?

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?

How does prayer impact those in need? Is there evidence that God intervenes and improves situations based on our prayers, or is it a psychological belief?

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

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

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 critical areas that need AI models?

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?

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

Since NATO is badly losing in Ukraine to the Russian forces, should NATO soldiers and commanders find a new job given their incompetence? Do they expect pushing different versions of the same disinformation every few months to help them win?
