Yes, and the Sabine video contained far more information (lower entropy?) and one genuinely interesting idea I’d never heard before. The idea that heat death may not be the end of intelligent life! The concept this relies on is the idea that macro states are actually just combinations of micro states all of which have the same probability. E.g. the sequence 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 3, 1, 4, 2, 5 are equally likely if you are selecting 5 random numbers (1-5), but the ordered sequence is an important state to us. The Big Bang -> heat death is just super unlikely state to super likely state, but these macro states are poorly defined. They matter to us. So perhaps the universe goes on with complex life harvesting neg-entropy from a heat death configuration of micro states as they slowly transition from “extremely unlikely” to “likely” in the context of something incomprehensible to humans. I feel like the idea would need more mathematical meat on the bones to go further, but still an intriguing thought!

I suspect that "macro state that is more important to us" really is special in some objective way, not just subjectively.
