Yes. Omega chooses first. That's Newcomb's. The other one isn't.
It seems that the fact that both my decision and Omega's decision are determined (quantum acknowledged) by the earlier state of the universe utterly bamboozles your decision theory. Since that is in fact how this universe works your decision theory is broken. It is foolish to define a problem as 'ill-defined' simply because your decision theory can't handle it.
The current state of my brain influences both the decisions I will make in the future and the decisions other agents can make based on what they can infer of my from their observations. This means that intelligent agents will be able to predict my decisions better than a coin flip. In the case of superintelligences they can get a lot better than than 0.5.
Just how much money does Omega need to put in the box before you are willing to discard 'Serious' and take the cash?
