Although it should be pointed out that Peter Norvig is at the forefront of a group of AI researchers who think that intelligence is based on lots and lots of data with relatively simple algorithms.
I think in CS we have more problems than scale, although in networks there' a lot of scaling-type-stuff. But most people build and use simulators rather than building out any hardware, and simulators can run on just about any hardware.
