An optimal human CEV would be a human SUCCESS and a trilobite FAIL.
Unless, of course, it turns out that humans really like trilobites and would be willing to devote significant resources to keeping them alive, understanding their preferences, and carrying out those preferences (without compromising other human values). In that case, it’s mutual success.

You’re thinking of tribbles.
Tribbles, while cute, directly compete with humans for food. In the long view, trilobites might have an easier time finding their niche.
