Comment on Random Choice in Newcomb's Paradox

You could go further: what if you used a weighted coin instead of a fair coin? That is, both you and the superintelligence know that you’ll pick the single box with probability p, but neither of you know the coin’s outcome until you flip it.
What’s the ideal value of p in this case? Is it not arbitrarily close to 1?

Hmmm, that’s a good and interesting follow on thought. No idea where we’d land for p, nor how we’d begin to calculate it. But interesting line of thinking.
