Ok. I’d agree to “transhuman”. I will say that that seems meaningfully different to me than a very alien AI, with very different values, going rogue and colonizing the lightcone.
Edit: I think it would make a lot of sense if Earth were considered sort of a nature preserve or like, tribal reservation, for the “vanilla humans”, and space was the domain of transhumans, digital people, and AI.
I claim that anything that’s undergone that much intelligence augmentation can’t reasonably be called “human”.
Perhaps “human autonomy” isn’t the right goal?
