Inching closer to technological feudalism every day. And don't get me wrong, I'm all for AI, but this thing that could easily be used ti cut working hours will be used to enrich the technological powerhouses that make the US an oligarchy

True, but are you not worried about how this will be used to further narrow the labor market? This tech is definitely in its infancy, but don't you think that it will continue to evolve along with copilot?
The thing about computing de-abstraction is this:
We're nowhere close to doing the maximum amount of computing that we want to do. If we make it easier to program stuff, we'll just do more programming in total - it won't shrink the pool. In some cases it might increase the amount of programming we do, because it becomes effective enough to use for a new purpose.
We already moved from like, "A3 B1 13 D9 4E" on punch cards, to "move pointer, find buffered character, print character, reset, move pointer, find, print, reset" etc. to "print string" to like, all kinds of huge functions that do all kinds of self-cleanup and handle different conditions.
