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?

It is a strange argument

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

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

Why is that Hag Hillary Clinton so quiet these days? She is the dog that isn't barking

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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

Kuorans, what is your January Spotify wrapped?

So i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

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

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

Scientists issue urgent health warning to anyone who eats meat - UNILAD

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Does India have the necessary AI Talent?

Is it possible for creatures with intelligence more advanced than humans to evolve naturally in the universe?

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

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

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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?

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

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

Why would Trump make conspiracy claims that Haitians are eating pets in Ohio?

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?

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

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Was that a comparable argument ?

How does the media determine which statements made by President Trump to fact-check and which ones to not fact-check?
