• Sources: primary, RFD 576, discussion
  • Summary: Oxide's public RFD 576 states that for any public Oxide writing an LLM must not be used to write, the text must not read as LLM-authored, and Pangram should report the writing as entirely human-written before publication. Cantrill cites a Cynthia Dunlop survey of 668 developers in which 78 percent stop reading immediately on detecting an LLM and 71 percent avoid the author afterwards, which is his cited figure rather than an independently verified one.
  • Why it matters: That converts a style preference into a shippable pre-publication check that a writer either passes or does not.
