I'm just not sure mankind's understanding of Mathematics is out of new "tricks" to be learned.

This is my opinion also as it relates to AI/ANN. Things I read about how scientists see the brain shifting due to learning (minimum energy of network type stuff) seem like the brain has some functions figured out that we haven't identified yet.

Maybe it's math already fully understood just not applied well to ANN's, but maybe there's some secret sauce in there.

One reason to believe there's even new low hanging fruit (that doesn't even require new math) is how simple and trivial the "Attention Heads" structure of the Transformer architecture really is. It's not advanced at all. It was just a great ideal that panned out that pretty much any creative AI researcher could've thought up after smokin' a joint. lol. I mean someone could do trivial experiments with different Perceptron network structuring and end up revolutionizing the world.

I think things are gonna get interesting real quick once LLMs themselves start "self experimenting" with writing code for different architectures.
