When it becomes trivial to 3d print gray goo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_goo) I wonder if you'll sing the same tune to humanity's destruction or if you'd admit that there's a spectrum and there's some threshold past which a technology becomes condemnable. Because right now your statement basically implies there is no such threshold (since clearly the person you're replying to thinks podcast.ai is past it).

You can "condemn" it all you want, but if people can easily create gray goo we will all die, and no laws or social norms will save us.
Humanity had a good run. If 3D printing and AI podcasts is what ends us all, then so be it.
