My take is that it is irrelevant so I want to hear opposing viewpoints.
The really simple argument for its irrelevance is that evolution used a lot more compute to produce human brains than the compute inside a single human brain. If you are making an argument on how much compute can find an intelligent mind, you have to look at how much compute used by all of evolution. (This includes compute to simulate environment, which Ajeya Cotra’s bioanchors wrongly ignores.)
[Question] Why is neuron count of human brain relevant to AI timelines?
