Not sure exactly how widely known this was but Epstein started telling people about it in the early 2000's according to https://www.nytimes.com/2019/07/31/business/jeffrey-epstein-... Seems like he brought it up to investors and scientists for at least 5 years.

In addition to the "seed the human race with his DNA" project (largely set up at his New Mexico ranch which the FBI bizarrely still has not raided for evidence), he was also plugged into the world of transhumanism (he wanted to cryogenically freeze his brain and penis) and AI (strong connections to both Marvin Minsky and OpenCog).
