I wasn't trying to make any comment about the job-automation situation; for what it's worth, I find arguments both ways to be very persuasive.

Rather, I was commenting that the moral system in the grandparent comment of essentially "decide what values are important to you, and if your country's laws don't align well enough, feel free to break those laws" is quite an eyebrow-raiser.

Do you disagree?

This is itself a moral judgement and the answer has been debated since the invention of law :) Some might argue that obeying an unjust law is morally wrong (i.e. civil disobedience).

I don't see a problem with that, as long as you understand that you will almost certainly need to face state imposed consequences when you break the laws.
