### Scaling Isn't Intelligence: 88-Hour Navier-Stokes vs. 4% of $2B

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. For ML practitioners, it reframes recursive self-improvement fears built on Claude's 80% code authorship as a category error.
