The reply argues that even if current LLMs keep improving through scaling, that does not rule out other kinds of breakthroughs.
It expects humans may still discover many mathematical ideas that were missed due to limited search or cross-domain interpolation, and separately predicts there could be architectural or post-LLM breakthroughs beyond the current paradigm.
