Yeah, it's not a novel idea. Gregory Chaitin has been talking about this for a long time. And a whole bunch of other people. I can't find all that many of them listed in the citations of this work, though. And the Twitter thread on it makes it seem as if their idea of looking at evolution through the lens of AIT was original. Which is not the case at all.
