Interesting idea... can you elaborate or list some references where one can read more about this?

Not super aware of literature on this. Maybe transhumanism and future-looking AI stuff (not current AI challenges). It’s clear if you think about it. I don’t think the people who are aware of this are talking about it much yet, because it would freak most people out a bit too much. Note that Elon Musk does not talk so much lately about spreading humans through the solar system... he talks about spreading consciousness.
