You're aware of everything in the text when you make your decision. You're aware Omega is a superintelligence from another galaxy. You're aware of the 100 previous iterations of the game. Because you read the text. That's how these things work, Jig.

You are choosing to take both boxes by means of another human, ie... you are choosing to take both boxes.
Originally posted by Jiggaboo_Johnson Also if Omega dropped the boxes and then went on to the next project…how was he observing the results?
Omega doesn't care about observing the results. Omega just puts money in boxes based on predictions he makes about your future actions, then drops them at your feet. -
2021-11-12 at 7:21 PM UTCOk if I am aware when Omega drops the boxes I shoot him dead, take both boxes, take his dead alien body, and take his spacecraft...I sell the spacecraft to China for 100 billion dollars and the alien body to Russia (after having sex with it) for 1 million.
Eta I toss the boxes to the nearest homeless person. -

It's okay Jig, we have your answer. Two boxes. It's okay to be a two boxer. A guaranteed $1000 is a guaranteed $1000! Who cares if your odds of getting more are vanishingly slim, and some mongoloid who picks B's odds of winning less than you are equally slim. You'll win every time. The mongoloids will only win way more 99% of the time, so who's laughing at the end of the day? You are, probably. Like a madman, all the way to the cheque cashing place that also accepts trades on stolen gold jedielry. Never mind those silly one boxers on their way to an actual bank. -
2021-11-12 at 7:27 PM UTCAnother scenario...I smash the boxes open. I then take the contents of the boxes...not the boxes themselves.
Omega is thwarted again...there are dozens of ways to out smart this "puzzle" -
2021-11-12 at 7:28 PM UTCI’ll give you both $500 each to shut the FUCK UP

2021-11-12 at 7:58 PM UTCI would ask Plantessi and do what she advised.
Can you draw me a picture of Omega please? I would like to know what its wings look like or is it flying by other means ?

Thank you.
Other means I expect, the aforementioned space vehicle, wings wont do you much good flying through space. You'd be flapping those things forever and not getting anywhere. -

Bc I mean, we are debating between $1,000 (big deal-fuck the grand you don’t need it-why are you even sweating it this philosophically) or $1,000,000. And if you end up with the million well then hooray and if you don’t well then life is what it always was. -
