I think your term "God's utility function" is a bit confusing - as if it's just one utility function. If you value your genes, and I value my genes, and our genes are different, then we have different utility functions.
Also, the vast majority of possible minds don't have genes.
Maybe. Though if you look at:
http://originoflife.net/gods_utility_function/
...then first of all the term is borrowed/inherited from:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God%27s_utility_function
...and also, I do mean it in a broader sense where (hopefully) it makes a bit more sense.
The concept is also referred to as "Goal system zero" - which I don't like much.
My latest name for the idea is "Shiva's goals" / "Shiva's values" - a reference to the Hindu god of destruction, creation and transformation.
