This commentary challenges the scaling thesis that 'scale is all you need,' arguing the field conflates raw intelligence with real-world capability. It uses the Manhattan Project — where Los Alamos genius cost just 4% of roughly $2B while industrial plants took 80% — to argue benchmark wins like the 88-hour Navier-Stokes solve are necessary but insufficient.
