Boltzmann. But it doesn't really matter, it's the same thing. Yes, I know that looking at a sequence of, say 1000 identical bits looks like it's got just 10 bits of entropy after simple RLE compression. But you must not forget the entropy that also generated in the computation itself, and subsequently dissipated into the universe.
