It’s called “responsible scaling”. In its own name, it conveys the idea that not further scaling those systems as a risk mitigation measure is not an option.
That seems like an uncharitable reading of “responsible scaling.” Strictly speaking, the only thing that name implies is that it is possible to scale responsibly. It could be more charitably interpreted as “we will only scale when it is responsible to do so.” Regardless of whether Anthropic is getting the criteria for “responsibility” right, it does seem like their RSP leaves open the possibility of not scaling.
