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?

Was that a comparable argument ?

Why are so many US conservatives in this day and age still against racial mixing? They won't say it in public, but they are still against the mixing between Blacks and whites? Why?

Does India have critical areas that need AI models?

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

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

Why are conservatives banning liberal books? Why are conservatives so offended by the teaching of racism and other topics?

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
