Policies

We have a policy of generally rejecting any and all talks on or adjacent to web3 and blockchain/crypto.

Policy on the Use of LLMs

We recognize that Large Language Models (LLMs) can be valuable tools for brainstorming, refining language, and streamlining technical workflows. Our policy focuses on personal accountability and subject matter mastery.

1. Preparation and Content Creation

You are permitted to use LLMs to assist in the preparation of your talk. This includes:

• Drafting outlines or slide copy.
• Generating or debugging code snippets for your project.
• Refining the clarity of your presentation materials.

2. Live Delivery Prohibitions

The use of LLMs during the live delivery of your talk is strictly prohibited. This includes using LLMs to generate real-time responses to audience questions or reading from LLM-generated scripts in a way that bypasses genuine engagement. We are here to hear from you, not the LLM.

3. Subject Matter Mastery

An LLM is a tool for assistance, not a substitute for expertise.

• Ownership: Regardless of how much LLM was used in the creation of your code, project architecture, or slides, you are the sole owner of the content.
• Defense: You must be able to explain the “why” behind every line of code, every architectural decision, and any claim made during the presentation.
• The Rule: “LLM generated it this way” is never an acceptable answer to a technical question.

The Bottom Line: We don’t care if you used an LLM to help get the job done, but we care deeply that you understand the work that was done. Use LLM to augment your work, but ensure you remain the expert in the room.
