imo audio DSP experts are diametrically opposed to AI on moral grounds. Good luck hiring the good ones. It's like paying doctors to design guns.

Not sure your analogy works, Guantanamo had no trouble hiring medical personnel

> imo audio DSP experts are diametrically opposed to AI on moral grounds.

Can you elaborate on this point? I don't know the moral grounds of audio DSP experts, and thus I don't understand why in your opinion they wouldn't take an offer if you really pay them some serious amount of money.

Just to be clear: considering what a typical daily job in DSP programming is like, I can imagine that many audio DSP experts are not the best culture fit for AI companies, but this doesn't have anything to do with morality.

In my experience, most of the people in audio DSP are musicians or otherwise very well exposed to music and the arts, and many see using AI as fundamentally immoral or unethical. It's technology designed via theft with the intent to harm professionals in these spaces.

Like I said, it's like paying a doctor to design a better gun.

Yes, but, you see, guns are merely tools. If you give these guns to the right people, they will actually create more work for the doctors, and everybody wins.
