AFAICT Paul’s definition of slow (I prefer gradual) takeoff basically implies that local takeoff and immediate unipolar outcomes are pretty unlikely. Many people still seem to put stock in local takeoff. E.g. Scott Garrabrant. Zvi and Eliezer have said they would like to write rebuttals. So I’m surprised by the scarcity of disagreement that’s written up.
