Just a running thread to discover interesting things said by Jimbo, or about Jimbo, from the 1990's.

From the talk.philosophy.misc mailing list:

Here's Jimmy in 2001 on a mailing list that discusses transhumanism and the Singularity.

I also have an archive of his blog from 2002-2003. He later deleted it when he reinvented his public persona. His current blog only goes back to October 2004.
