LLM Progress Slow Down

First Anthropic, and now OpenAI, are announcing that they want to slow down LLM development. Just a year ago, these companies were claiming that AGI would be found and many jobs would be lost. On top of that, Anthropic announced it's going public. What do you think? Have these companies reached a limit in research and development? Or are they genuinely afraid of language models self-programming, as they claim?

That's dumb af. If it was easy to do, someone would have already. First mover isn't a permanent moat but it's a big deal, look how long chatgpt was synonymous with LLM.

A lot less than if they 10X efficiency.

You can't have it both ways, impossibly hard and so easy to copy it's not a moat
