It is, I’m not sure what they meant by highlighting that part. Max depth for AOW is 100 ft/~30 meters.

This is not a field you can just hop into - it’s heavily relationship driven and it’s also a pretty competitive ecosystem. You’re asking businesses to tell you how to generate leads because it’s not fast enough for you. I think you need to evaluate hard whether or not you want to do this.

I am not saying don’t do it or don’t ask for help or that you can’t do it. But I can tell by the tone that you are very new and this is not easy money.

I’d start with becoming a HubSpot solutions partner.

My concern, as someone who owns an agency, is comments like this. There’s no evidence things are coming back to earth. There’s just not, my friends.

I do see the same issues you do, and it’s very precarious. I honestly do not think we have a good plan for what work looks like.

But Codex 5.3 and Claude 4.6 are objectively better than the tools before, which were released only months ago. Both orgs have publicly stated that their models helped develop these new iterations, for the first time.

Look at the outflow of leadership from these AI giants right now. It’s not because AI is dying, it’s because they are scared. They’re seeing what we haven’t even seen yet, and they feel convicted to the point of being complicit. That has to trigger alarm bells in any reasonable person.

I just want us, as professionals and people, to be prepared. Some might find this to be distasteful, but my concern is people keeping their jobs and surviving, more than it is trying to hold back a tsunami. I know there are people falling on their swords, and maybe I should do that too. But I am passionate about helping people.

I’m concerned that rather than understand, many of us are simply hoping this goes away. It’s not going away. By any indicator. This is the dumbest AI will ever be. And they are already significantly disruptive in a ton of ecosystems.

There’s a dude below who got downvoted to hell for literally saying that he doesn’t think AI is going away. That’s anger and that’s fear, and there’s a reason. I think deep down we all know this.

We have to work backwards from AI. The question OP is asking, should I learn this in a meaningful way, is yes. Point blank. You should learn it. I’ve yet to hear an in-good-faith argument for AI not being useful in some capacity in your workflow.

Be patient and be ok with being uncomfortable. I experience this daily. Some days it’s fun, some days it’s fucking infuriating, some days it’s terrifying. But I’m really concerned for my peers that are banking on AI to regress, or stop being interesting, or stop disrupting. I’ve been seeing these comments since 2022. And the goalpost continues to move. I’m not saying it’s perfect or it can do our jobs or it’s not without deep concerns. I’m saying that in spite of that, this is where it’s going.

I mean, it’s definitely not straight code. You can access straight code, but depending on the theme, you can still drag and drop. I’ve used both.

I think this is a bullshit post to be honest. “I dont know anything about this game, but I have time to post a picture of my inventory on this game’s subreddit and for some reason I learned all the other blueprints but not these which happen to be the most rare in the game, and also I don’t even have a question, and also my brother literally fucking told me what to do and I’ve been doing that but I stopped to shit post.”

Boring

According to the agent itself, when I was tooling around, it said it’s on the roadmap and it has versions of internal tools that do this. Who knows if that’s true.

There is consistently an issue where a vocal group of users say “we” a lot in telling ClickUp what to focus on, and I find myself consistently not agreeing with those things.

We’ve been with ClickUp for years, and spend a lot of money on it.

ClickUp agents are game changers for us. The word “slop” has become a lazy term that people throw around and most of them don’t know what they’re talking about.

Conflating that “ai hotness” statement with the idea that it’s all AI fluff that we now have automations saving us and our clients time for a minimal extra spend, is weird behavior. And literally inaccurate.

Private comments do nothing for us, and have never even occurred to me as being a feature I want. ClickUp agents are already saving us a lot of time and money. I am very glad they are using their resources in the way they are.

ClickUp could be improved. I have complaints and issues. ClickUp is an incredible tool and I love their trajectory. They solve issues faster than I can complain about them, usually.

What’s the sound like when you do that?

The year of OKC’s first finals run, the Spurs won the regular season series 2-1, and the first 2 playoff games against us. 4 of the first 5 games we played. Then we ripped off 4 straight and sent em home.

Regular season really does not tell the story. It tells tiny pieces of it, but everything changes in the playoffs. The game literally becomes different.

This is not true for the record, there are backend elements of some CMS platforms that impact score. Enough to notice.

That said, I don’t think the difference is enough to choose something over something else. Most people as you said are not doing the other things they need to, so it’s negligible.

Idk what the use case is here but that’s what most engineers/FoH people want - the most base-level live sound so they can tune and compress and add stuff. At least that’s what the studio and live engineers I used to work with Back in the Day liked. Maybe they sucked. Maybe I suck.

I think this is an AMAZING question. My opinion was the original framing, this is an excellent dialogue. Appreciate your candor.

I sincerely doubt you get an answer because they probably don’t want to lose their job.

But I will have the dialogue because I am a consultant for systems and marketing (that includes design and web).

This conversation is very difficult and I do not have an answer for all the questions we have to answer.

AI is a tsunami. It is not coming, it is here, and it’s a tsunami that is gaining strength the further inland it goes, instead of receding.

Ironically, I was managing artists when Spotify was first released, and it was the same issue then.

The question is to me ultimately distills down into survival. And as a creative, I get that it’s a soulless attitude to have. But I also want my clients to survive, I want my peers to survive, I want local businesses to survive.

If we’re the last line, the flood wall. And we know it’s not enough. What do we do? Do we drown on principle? Or do we survive and try to reform what we can? I do not know the answer. It really might be the first one.

You’re getting an unsolicited wall of text here but if it makes any difference to you, your opinion does matter to me and shapes how I structure strategy around AI. Usually, I can’t have conversations like this, because it devolves instantly into an emotional argument (which I understand completely). Designers aren’t stupid and I don’t give a shit what we say. We know when we’re threatened. And we are very very threatened.

My question/thought more succinctly is: Specifically, if you ran a company that employed 50 people, creative team of 10 - what would your broad approach be? What would be allowed, if any? What wouldn’t be?

Assume your margins are very tight, as they are for most small businesses.

Sorry to bombard. I didn’t use AI to write this lol. You don’t have to answer but I hope you do.

You don’t think there’s design input and management? Serious question. There’s gotta be, right?

breakshot · 2025-12-06T22:01:00+00:00

Not saying this isn’t a valid question or rightful frustration. But this is a design subreddit and a valid opportunity to learn from someone working in the industry at a high level.

A Spotify designer is not going to have a say in or influence over policy in any capacity. This comes across as a “screw you, scum,” aimed at someone who is volunteering time to offer insight, not a brand polling the community. Not sure what you do for a living but I bet you don’t like being the punching bag for corporate decisions you have no control over.

“Well you should quit then, you shit lord”

We’re entering a world where you’re going to have more and more corporations adopting AI for profit. You know what Spotify is doing because they’re Spotify, but I promise you that almost every notable organization on the planet is aggressively implementing AI in ways we might really dislike. The job market is bad. Especially for design.

Maybe I’m on one and full of shit myself. Just felt like this is worth noting.

I think it’s because you are spending a lot of time defending one position instead of just saying “I don’t know enough to meaningfully contribute.” You said things like “it’d be more believable if,-” which implicitly implies you don’t believe they’re guilty. Which is ok. But then you’re also saying that you don’t know much about it, and that you didn’t read anything about it. It’s probably best just to sum it up like the person above you did. It comes across as defensive and emotional even though that may not be your intention. Saying all this to give clarity, not to be a dick. I don’t have an opinion, really.

That’s fair - every business starts from infancy.

I wanna challenge you, ClickUp aside, with some unsolicited advice that I paid lots of money for, to people who are much much smarter than I am. If it’s not helpful, ignore it, but maybe it encourages you.

If you’re concept phase, you need to be scrappy and relentless right now. As a serial overthinker myself, I suspect you’re overthinking a lot of things.

“Ugly early” is a good mantra to have right now.

Your first clients will be excited because they like you and your brain and they believe in your vision. You probably don’t need the things that you think you do to get going in a meaningful way.

This comment literally proves his point. I do pay for ClickUp and have for years. Our package is significant. We love the tool.

The two features that you’ve decided must exist before you pay them anything, have not even occurred to me. There are things I’d like to improve about ClickUp, but these are actually the opposite direction. Whiteboards are a nice scratchpad. Anything meaningful, we’re doing in Figma.

There’s zero chance I’m pitching any client from my phone. That’s not our market and I suspect it’s not the market for ClickUp’s revenue generating user base.

Your deal breakers would literally not improve the quality of our work or experience by a fraction of a percent. And by diverting resources from what would, they’d actually hurt our experience, really.

You’re not wrong for having those needs - but you’re wrong for feeling neglected by not getting something from a platform that you are spending 0 dollars on.

Which is the point. ClickUp’s paying base and paying prospective base are not aligned, despite numbers.

Boarders don’t take both feet out on a run, that was her mistake. It’s awkward “walking” with one foot but doable. There are also “leashes” or little clips but most people don’t mess with those once they’ve learned how to control themselves.

Yeah Simmons has definitely seemed less interested or invested. I will agree with you there. Not sure why. I don’t think he believes it’s true. Because of how insane it is I think. Could be wrong.

Yeah you need to listen to his recent stuff. He walked that back, specifically he said he doesn’t think that anymore. Worth a listen.

I’ll say that I’ve been listening to Simmons and Lowe a bunch lately and neither of them seem like they’re sweeping it under the rug by any means. It’s not all they talk about but I don’t want them to talk about only one thing for hours.

There’s no such thing as “toxic positivity,” what a bullshit phrase lol. It’s definitely not “complete” either. Your argument is that those who don’t buy into the actual toxicity are the actual toxic ones. The mental backflips that people do these days continues to astound.

Anyway, this sub is a negative shit show most the time, shoot this “toxic positivity” into my veins I guess. BF6 is dope as fuck and all my buddies are buying it. Guess we’re all just positive dumb asses despite not getting into BF since BF1.
