hard take off
From SL4.org
The Singularity scenario in which a mind makes the transition from prehuman or human-equivalent intelligence to strong transhumanity or superintelligence over the course of days or hours. The high likelihood of a hard takeoff once a roughly human-equivalent AI is created has been argued by the Singularity Institute here: http://www.singinst.org/LOGI/seedAI.html
