We're arguing different things. You're talking about the information content required to reproduce a particular brain, which I agree, has a massive Kolmogorov complexity (even if we decide, as we might want to, to factor out many equivalence classes based on behavior). Far more than a DNA estimate would hint at.
But I'm just talking about (as are most AI people, and I think Kurzweil, as well) the informational content required to build a brain. Any old brain, could be yours, could be mine, is probably neither. The information required to do this is much lower, and corresponds loosely to your first example, a kilobyte with alternating ones and zeros.
