The amount of complexity that an intelligent being can cause is far greater than the momentary temperature of that being. You are stuck on local slices of a momentum based basis. Think in broader terms, the entropy of the human race, thermodynamically, is tiny, and yet we could potentially grow to change the entire galaxy, let alone the entire universe. Entropy based on course grating of momentum states is only one possibility and is severely handicapped, especially when one realizes the universe may be cyclic -- clearly if it is, the observables we are using that lead us to believe entropy is increasing are sort of like the Shephard tones [1]

Also, I should add, a photon of the lowest possible energy we can currently detect, still generates the same fidelity of interference and quantum effects that a high energy photon does. This is immensely applicable to low energy quantum computing. Which means that you can get a wavefunction at the final gate of one's quantum computer of enormous complexity, with almost no relation to energy magnitude. This relationship, between fidelity of the double-slit interference of low energy photons vs high energy ones was used to check for a screen-door effect to see if we might be in a discretized simulation that allocated compute based on energy magnitude. We found no such pixelation/screen-door effects. Quantum computation throws a huge wrench in classical thermodynamic entropy.
