Oh, I see what you mean now. (i.e. there are three axis, one of which is “length of time overall from-now-until-takeoff-finishes” and one of which is “length of time between “takeoff starting” and “overwhelming superintelligence?”).
Okay, now rather than making a somewhat pedantic complaint about which term to use, my take is “I think fast/slow takeoff is used to mean enough different things that it’s worth spelling out in words what the three-axis is that the graphs are explaining.” I agree that the graphs-as-shown do convey the thing. When I first read the post I thought I understood the point they were making and started skimming before actually parsing the distinction. The might just be me, but, I’d hazard a bet that it’d be a relatively common thing to get confused about.
