My guess is not much unless you give them a specific problem, and create a hierarchy.

Otherwise things will just fragment into cliques and fights, like any university department.

What would there be to fight over? They each have a $1m budget.

  • In the Manhattan project the scientists were unified by a noble goal. Money don't buy that. Without such a goal, you'll get a hundred scientists each pulling in his own direction in order to get rich.

  • Have you ever seen an academic department?

    Surely the lab scientists and engineers would assert that they need a bigger budget than the mathematicians, and so on.
