Only theory that is a convex combination of existing theory. Any paradigm shift is currently unreachable to LLMs and can be only obtained by luck with RL due to the curse of dimensionality.

The term “currently” is the sticking point here. As far as I know, there is still no one who can provide evidence as to why it should remain that way. And the "by luck with RL" is soon not by luck anymore. The more stupid and not so stupid ideas are discussed with the LLMs, the chances are growing that it is not a question about luck but by growing probability.

Frankly, such paradigm shifts are almost impossible for humans as well. If a mathematician proposes a truly radical paradigm shift, they're either a once-in-a-decade genius or a crackpot.
