Suppose the universe is as we know it now, except that aliens definitely don’t exist, and the only living organism in the universe is a single human named Steve. Steve really wants to create a cheesecake the size of Pluto. Apparently, the universe is more intelligent than Steve, and does not want such a cheesecake to exist.
Perhaps this “general, universal utility” is what would happen if the abilities of things we think of as intelligent were magnified.
