Comment by Eliezer Yudkowsky
AI researcher and writer
From our perspective, an AI will either be so slow as to be bottlenecked, or so fast as to be FOOM. [...] 'AI go FOOM'.

AI Unverifiable
Source URL (greaterwrong.com mirror of LessWrong's 'Hard Takeoff' post by Yudkowsky, 2008) returns HTTP 403 when fetched. Web search corroborates that the phrase 'AI go FOOM' and the 'flatline-or-FOOM' framing originate in Yudkowsky's 2008 'Hard Takeoff' post, and the vote (For) is consistent with his well-known position that AGI rapidly leads to superintelligence. However, I cannot directly fetch the source page to confirm the exact wording 'so slow as to be bottlenecked, or so fast as to be FOOM'. Marking as ai_unverifiable per protocol.
