If I agreed, I’d be extremely curious as to what the average utility for all people across the multiverse actually is. (Is it dominated by people with extremely short lifespans, because they use so little computing power in a 4D sense?)
Why? Eliezer said he wanted to maximize the average utility of all people, then said that average utility was 67. Now he faces the difficult task of maximizing 67. Or maybe maximizing the utility of people who share a planet with him, at the expense of other people in existence, so the average stays 67. Am I missing something? :-)

On average? 67 utilons.
If you want to maximize a value, please don’t compute it unconditionally, instead compute its dependence on your actions.
This seems like a useful request to make in a different context. It doesn’t appear relevant to the grandparent.
