Importance of knowing about AI takeoff is about the "so what?" of knowing which AI takeoff scenario will happen. How will our actions change if we expect a FOOM or a continuous takeoff or some other scenario?

In contrast, with more continuous takeoff, AI prepping becomes relatively more important.
