*Yes. And if, although they are no longer each other, all 5 agree that
"you" have survived, then there is even less to worry about even if they

*I think that's what Mr. Jupiter Brain will be, a society of AI agents
that, due to the fundamental laws of physics, are linked together by very
high bandwidth but also high latency connections, or at least high latency
by computer standards, not by human standards.  *

*Yes I think that is what will happen IF we survive the Singularity meat
grinder, but that would be far from a certainty even if the most powerful
human in the world during the most important moment in the history of the
species was not an imbecile who still believed that the most important
dangers that humanity faces are transsexuals and women in men's sports. *
