Me, speaking to transhumanists:

"Hey guys, #AI in the service of human wellbeing is a great near-term goal... but would you freak out of I suggested that in the long-term the trajectory of intelligence should bloom beyond human values?" ( https://danfaggella.com/the-grand-trajectory-intelligence-sentience/)

Ideas of this sort seemed more digestible to people before AI actually took off in modern industry/politics (say, 2013).

@adam_ford you interviewed de Garis, what are the best thinkers that take eventual post-humanism seriously? @citizencyborg may have ideas on this also.
