I think there is a loose connection. Hofstadter's 1979 masterpiece, Gödel Escher Bach (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6del,_Escher,_Bach --- mentioned in an earlier reply), has a chapter called Contracrostipuntus (https://genius.com/Douglas-hofstadter-contracrostipunctus-an...) which describes an arms-race tension between Crab's "perfect" record player and Tortoise's mischievous records designed to be unplayable on that record player, with titles such as "I Cannot Be Played on Record Player X". Crab's then invents a "Record Player Omega" which includes an ahead-of-time "scanning" step to reconfigure itself based on the record it scans...

All of which reminds me of virus-scanning on computers, and AI efforts for "safety".

Making the connection between GEB and AI isn't new, apparently: https://matthodges.com/posts/2025-08-26-music-to-break-model...
