AI pause: no observation on what safety issue to address, work on capabilities anyways, then may lead to only capability improvements. (Assumption is that AI pausing means no releasing of models.)
RSP: observed O, shift more resources to work on mitigating O and less on capabilities, and when protection P is done, publish the model, then shift back to capabilities. (Ideally.)
