As opposed to the rest of us building systems that will put thousands out of jobs en masse?

Sure, there should be regulation regarding minimum pay and such. But an idea like this is not unethical on its own. It's unethical when combined with a society that is prepped to view automation as a danger instead of a savior, because the moonshot idea that we could just work less in the information age seems to be obliterated at this point.
