There is no Clean Room
Thursday, Jul 9, 2026
There was a significant mixup in communicating the boundaries for OCC 2026. I believed there were no rules, because it is what the event text said. It turns out there was an unwritten norm of no AI or LLM usage. Bummer! Moving on, I’ll be doing my own thing and not participating in OCC. Technology is not a purist activity to me. The lines blur. The way we interact with technology frequently melds into the next thing.
