I think it’s an interesting take but kind of fundamentally wrong because it ignores sort of the whole point. Like, it’s certainly true that the computational complexity of a bucket of a river and the computational complexity of a brain are both very complex, they are also very (and obviously) different. The whole tower of biology and technology isn’t a detail, to be ironed out like “assuming a spherical cow”, it’s the thing people find most interesting! Also, on a basic level if you cannot draw a distinction between a storm and a brainstorm, the problem lies with your ontology rather than the universe.
