This situation gnaws at my intuitions somewhat less than the dust specks.
You're offering me the ability to emulate every possible universe of the complexity of the one we observe, and then some. You're offering to make me a God. I'm listening. What are these faster-growing functions you've got and what are your terms?
Did you miss that before Omega gave you the offer, you already had "the ability to emulate every possible universe of the complexity of the one we observe, and then some"?
By accepting Omega's offers, you're almost certainly giving up those 10^10,000,000,000 years of life, in exchange for some tiny probability of a longer but still finite lifespan.
No, but I evidently forgot it by the time I tacked on the 'offering to make me a God' drivel. Nevertheless, as with (I believe it was) Pys-Kosh my intuition tells me to take the deals and fast, before Omega changes his mind.
