Do you actually believe openAI, Anthropic and X will actually slow down the pace of AI?

A user on reddit.com questions whether OpenAI, Anthropic, and X will genuinely slow down the pace of AI development, despite their public statements. The user speculates that these companies might continue to accelerate AI progress in secret, possibly through a hidden division, with most employees remaining unaware. This scenario is likened to plots from science fiction movies playing out in real life.
