Recreation of EA-Pioneer Igor Kiriluk

LessWrong AI

On 3 September 2022, Igor Kiriluk suddenly died (see EA Forum obituary ). He was a great communicator and organized the first Moscow EA meetup. He had been active in the transhumanist scene since 2003 and even attracted the founders of KrioRus to transhumanism. He worked as community glue and visited every meetup. On 5 January 2026, his closest friend Veter (Sergey Kamene) had a dream that Igor's sideload (a mind-model based on an LLM) was created and that Igor calls him and suggests they celebrate his birthday.
