Eliezer: I cooperate with the Paperclipper if I think it will one-box on Newcomb's Problem with myself as Omega.

Isn't that tantamount to Clippit believing you to be omnipotent though? If I thought my co-player was omnipotent I'm pretty certain I'd be cooperating.

Or are you just looking for a co-player who shuts up and calculates/chooses straight? In which case, good heuristic I suppose.
