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?

Does India have the necessary set up in place?

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

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

Will Trump's tariffs harm the USA?

What do you think is the most powerful line in the song "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien" by Édith Piaf?

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

Why isn't bestiality illegal in most states? If children can't consent, then animals DEFINITELY can't consent. Why is being a pedophile a crime but zoophilia is not?

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

Consumer sentiment reading rebounds to much higher level than expected as people get over tariff shock - CNBC

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?
