“Follow the improbability” is tantalizingly close, but not quite the right answer to the GLUT puzzle, I think. The right game seems to be “follow the K-complexity”. The simplest algorithm that generates the GLUT is probably similar to a conscious human, so if you subscribe to the universal prior, then seeing a GLUT implies with high probability that there’s a human nearby.

Well spotted. “Follow the improbability” is enough of a clue to get the right answer (“a human made it”), though.
