I think Omega’s capabilities serve a LCPW function in thought experiments; it makes the possibilities simpler to consider than a more physically plausible setup might.
Also, I’d say that our wetware brains probably aren’t close to deterministic in how we decide (though it would take knowledge far beyond what we currently have to be sure of this), but e.g. an uploaded brain running on a classical computer would be perfectly (in principle) predictable.
