Roboticists haven't yet grasped the subtleties of scaling that took the LLM field years to figure out

A short exchange on robotics versus LLM development paths. The reply notes that LLMs also lacked certain subtleties, but people spent years figuring them out; the author responds that roboticists have yet to discover the subtlety of scaling.
The underlying claim: embodied AI may need the same long, experiential process of uncovering implicit knowledge that the LLM field went through, rather than directly copying an existing playbook.
