I'll have to actually read the paper but I suspect there to be very strong assumptions which defeat the interesting aspects of the platonic representation hypothesis.
It's clickbait. They don't do anything like prove the platonic representation hypothesis.
They do seem to have some really interesting training efficiency improvements, though. The paper is at least worth a read.
