The information needed to describe our particular laws of physics < info needed to describe the concept of “habitable universe” in general < info needed to describe human-like mind.
The biggest slip is the equivocation of the word intelligence. The Kolmogorov complexity of AIXI-tl is quite small, so intelligence’s in that sense of the word are likely to exist in the universal prior.
Humanlike minds have not only the clear mark of evolution, but the mark of stone age tribal interactions across their psyche. An arbitrary mind will be bizarre and alien. Wondering if such a mind might be benevolent is hugely privileging the hypothesis. The most likely way to make a humanlike mind is the process that created humans. So in most of the universes with humanoid deities, those deities evolved. This becomes the simulation hypothesis.
The best hypothesis is still the laws of quantum physics or whatever.
