Definitely defect.
Cooperation only makes sense in the iterated version of the PD. This isn’t the iterated case, and there’s no prior communication, hence no chance to negotiate for mutual cooperation (though even if there was, meaningful negotiation may well be impossible depending on specific details of the situation).
Superrationality be damned, humanity’s choice doesn’t have any causal influence on the paperclip maximizer’s choice. Defection is the right move.
