The important properties of the sampling procedure that I think are relevant for anthropics is that it’s not an independent or random sample, meaning we get less information from our sole existence today than we think.
The fact that it’s not an independent or random sample, and that we have more information is why I reject the doomsday argument (this is also why I think Grabby Aliens is also flawed for explaining the fermi paradox, and the actual answer is we don’t know, but at least 1 of the factors is too high.)
Also, very low probability things can happen without any explanation.
Roughly speaking, it’s close to a deterministic sample, though from a human perspective it’s affected by some noise on the quantum level, which is amplified to create chaotic outcomes, that is determined by your parents having sex at a particular place and time.
(A complete explanation is beyond my ability, but this is roughly how all humans generate (with caveats/exceptions).
