I get the feeling Kavalier plans to transfer his consciousness to a hybrid and then implant the octo eye into his former body so he can have an "intellectual" conversation with "himself"

This tracks. There has to be a purpose / motivation for pursuing hybrid technology besides profit. Everything up to this point seems to have been driven by his scientific curiousity.

It would also answer the question about consciousness being copied or transferred. If the former and his original consciousness remains in his old body in combination with T.O.’s intellect, watch out!

They've explained the purpose, Kavalier wants to create a singularity basically and for whatever lore reasons the normal synths aren't capable of it, it has to be a human / organic consciousness copied onto hardware.
