Of course, mass-producing Brain-like Computers with such intelligence would inevitably take away a huge number of jobs.
Whenever the efficiency of production machinery improved, there were always people who offered comfort by saying that new jobs would appear and humans would not be replaced.
But the truth was that people were replaced every time. Once Brain-like Computers succeeded, the scale of that replacement might be unprecedented. If machines were stronger and more intelligent than humans, while also costing less, I could not think of any reason humans would retain their jobs.
Looking on the bright side, people would no longer need to worry about unemployment. Once cheap machines replaced the vast majority of human labor, it would be as if everyone had a group of machine slaves behind them. Social classes would no longer be divided within humanity itself, but by placing the enormous machine labor force beneath humanity and dividing society accordingly.
The way social resources were distributed would inevitably undergo major changes. The distribution of most resources according to need might become possible. The rich would still have mountains of gold and silver, while the poor could enjoy a decent standard of living without working.
Looking on the pessimistic side, a person's greatest social value lay in creating through labor. Once people stopped creating through labor, could those who had lost their value still receive a good standard of living? I was afraid a great deal of preparation would be needed to support that transition and prevent a large-scale disaster.
I won't elaborate on the related issues here. We're only technicians. The chain reactions caused by new technology should be left to sociologists and economists to discuss.
If the success of the Brain-like Computer would weaken people's social value, then the Evolution Drug would do precisely the opposite:
