I think “fast takeoff” and “intelligence explosion” mean approximately the same thing as FOOM (notably “catastrophic AI” refers to a broader category of scenarios), and these terms are often used especially in more formal contexts.
I’m not concerned about this being a big problem, but do think this post is a good nudge for people who don’t typically think about the effect their language has on getting buy-in for their ideas.
