Talk:The Hanson-Yudkowsky AI-Foom Debate

What's FOOM?

Could someone please make it explicit in the text of the page what FOOM stands for, since FOOM redirects here? I assume it's an acronym, but while I tried skimming through some of the articles in the main sequence, all participants use the term like everyone knows what it is. More clarity regarding jargon would be helpful. Thanks! Markus Ramikin 10:15, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Foom is not an acronym, but short hand for a hard takeoff intelligence explosion. I have updated the redirect to point to intelligence explosion. - Nic Smith 18:25, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Oh. Thanks! Markus Ramikin 22:10, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
