I’d imagine that RSP proponents think that if we execute them properly, we will simply not build dangerous models beyond our control, period. If progress was faster than what labs can handle after pausing, RSPs should imply that you’d just pause again. On the other hand, there’s not a clear criteria for when we would pause again after, say, a six month pause in scaling.
Now whether this would happen in practice is perhaps a different question.

I think pause proponents think similarly!
Realized that I didn’t respond to this—PauseAI’s proposal is for a pause until safety can be guaranteed, rather than just for 6 months.
