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?

Didn't the Chinese ones bring some soil back?

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 AI Talent?

What is the general opinion of psychologists on Donald Trump's presidency?

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

Was that a comparable argument ?

Is it not an entirely different ball game?

Apple will let third party music apps show animated artwork on the iPhone lock screen, not just Apple Music - 9to5Mac

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

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

Your Mars mission was also inexpensive because it was extremely basic

Quantum Time-Freeze: Lasers Lock Quantum States 1,000x Longer - SciTechDaily

It is a strange argument

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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?

Do you agree with Kamala Harris that Donald Trump is dangerous?

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 i doubt India ruffled any feathers with a moon mission

15,000 Light-Years Away, Something Is Blinking – And It Might Rewrite Physics - SciTechDaily

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

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

Measles cases see biggest rise in over a month - The Hill

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

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

The nine-armed octopus and the oddities of the cephalopod nervous system - Ars Technica

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

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

What should a young woman do to control sagging breasts?

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

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

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

Can you explain the difference between fissionable and fissile materials and their role in nuclear power reactors?
