It seems like LLMs will result in "service abundance" sooner than "material abundance." Both since progress in robotics seems to be behind that of LLMs, and because the US doesn't even manufacture most stuff anymore anyway, so we aren't self-sufficient in that sense. We'll reach a strange situation where "service jobs" are commoditized while hard labor becomes the bottleneck. Worse, the US had transitioned to a service economy and devalued hard labor, and that also seems unlikely to change. Maybe the people going on about the permanent underclass were onto something.
