		<description><![CDATA[Much of our analysis of artificial and natural intelligence is based on the economic concept of rational behavior.  This notion was introduced by von Neumann and Morgenstern in their landmark 1944 book &#8220;Theory of Games and Economic Behavior&#8221;. They only dealt with situations with objective probabilities, but their approach was later extended to subjective [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The rational perspective on artificial intelligence leads to many important but sometimes unintuitive consequences. Details are described in the paper:
Stephen M. Omohundro, “The Nature of Self-Improving Artificial Intelligence”
but it seems worthwhile to flesh out some of the important ideas in separate blog posts.
Our primary focus is on systems which improve themselves. Many of the consequences [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The von Neumann and Morgenstern development of rational economic agents requires events with arbitrary objective probabilities. Objective probabilities in the world usually arise from symmetries and the simplest example is the flip of a fair coin. If a coin comes up heads with probability  , we&#8217;ll call it an &#8220;-coin&#8221;. Can we use use [...]]]></description>
