I guess I don’t see it as merely technology about which I might be reasonably enthused. Everything cool becomes bad or harnessed for evil in rather short order these days. The destructive potential of widespread deployment of LLMs seems so obvious that I don’t see why anyone would rush employ it in their work, let alone book a trip to a Meta-hosted hypefest for it.

These are very different propositions.

You probably already use various code automation tools in your work. At the lower end, Copilot is exactly that, just a bit smarter.

You write "const [getFoo, set" and it autocompletes "Foo] = useState(". Who wouldn't want that?

It's entirely within your control how far you stray into adopting code that you don't thoroughly understand or haven't thoroughly vetted.
