Episode 5. Davie Holt and Landry Fields dig into “Blacktober,” the AI-discovered PHP website vulnerability, and what it means when AI can hack almost anything. They also cover the race among agentic AI tools like Muse, Grok bot and Claude, and why human authenticity matters more than ever.

Davie and Landry look at what happens to privacy, honesty and trust online when advanced AI models can find security flaws that went unnoticed for decades. Davie argues that the fallout may push people to be more honest. Landry shares how his thinking has shifted: the internet was built for humans, and the future will be AI-optimized with humans in the loop.

In this episode, they talk about why businesses need to show up in AI search summaries, and how agentic assistants from Meta, OpenAI, xAI and Anthropic are changing the way people find information. They also explain why an insurance agency that logs into 30+ websites a day is ready for AI-connected systems. Finally, they warn about “AI slop” in social media automation and make the case for putting real photos, video and testimonials back into your marketing.

Episode 4. Davie Holt and Landry Fields explore the latest in AI tools, marketing strategies, and the importance of human authenticity in digital content. They discuss AI advancements like Grok bot, Muse platform, and the future of local marketing and SEO.

Davie and Landry compare the latest wave of agentic AI tools with the practical realities of using them in business, especially for marketing, local visibility, and content creation. They make the case for using AI to amplify human voice—not replace it—with examples from insurance, podcasting, and local business promotion.

In this episode, they discuss how AI assistants are evolving from chat tools into agents that take action, why cross-platform workflows and backups matter, and how search behavior is changing as more people rely on AI summaries. They also explore why public speaking, authenticity, and local presence may become even more valuable as AI-generated content grows.

Episode 3. Davie Holt and Landry Fields on the AI news that actually moved this week, and what it means if you run a business instead of a data center.

Conversational AI is about to stop sounding like AI. Duplex models are landing by the end of the year, ChatGPT-6 Astra showed up with a million-token window, Fable 5.1 got cheaper, and Meta dropped a personal assistant app called Muse. Landry's call: by the end of the decade, typing is cursive.

Then the noise. A former researcher is on a media tour saying AI development is moving too fast and we are all gone by 2030. Davie puts the tinfoil hat on. Landry answers it with what the people actually working in AI security see every day, and neither of them lands where the headlines did.

Then the part worth your time if you own the business. Everything you build inside a chat window lives in that chat window until you put it somewhere else. Get a repository. It is how you change what you built six months from now, and it is what makes you portable the day a better model shows up.

Plus how many agents Landry actually runs in a week, the business partner who runs exactly one, and an honest walk through how this episode gets made.

Episode 2. Davie Holt and Landry Fields on the AI news that actually moved this week, and what it means if you run a business instead of data centers.

Stripe quietly acquired OpenRouter, the aggregator that sits in front of every major model. Then a mystery model called Ox Alpha showed up on that same platform, free, with a million-token window, and nobody will say who built it. Davie puts the tinfoil hat on for that one.

Also: GrokBot drops and xAI buys Cursor, why agent-based interfaces are a real shift and not a reskin, Qwen 3.8, and why the next race in AI is cost rather than capability.

Then the part worth your time if you own the business. Before you vibe code a solution to anything, answer one question: are you willing to stay in the pocket when it collapses? If you don't have the time to maintain it, it isn't worth building, and that has nothing to do with AI.

Plus the VA red flag every agency should be watching for, why accent mitigation changes what a virtual assistant can do, and what happened when Landry spent seven days replacing his agency's entire intranet with a Chrome extension.

Episode 1. Davie Holt and Landry Fields break down what actually changed in AI this week, and what it means if you run an agency instead of a data center.

The two get into Opus 5 versus Fable and why one of them got pulled, AI video that you genuinely cannot detect anymore, and the shift from generative to agentic AI that every major platform is racing toward.

Then the University of Kentucky launches an AI undergraduate degree, which sends them into whether that degree is anything more than a computer science degree in a new jacket, and what AI literacy actually needs to mean when you are hiring.

The part worth your time if you own the business: the highest-leverage hire most agency owners are not making. Hint, it is not you, and it is probably already on your payroll.

Landry also admits on the record that he has never seen Terminator. Either one.

You are not behind.

That's the first thing we want you to hear. Every week we talk to business owners who say the same thing: I don't even know where to start with AI, let alone keep up with it.

So Landry Fields and I built a place to start.

Each week on The AI Rock Stars we bring you what actually moved in the AI world and what it means for your business. No hype. No theory dumps. Real workflows from people running real companies.

There are two very easy ways to get involved:

1. Go to www.theairockstars.com and find your band. Join the community and get involved. We meet every week and we provide guidance and support on how to use AI in your everyday life.

2. Follow this podcast wherever you get podcasts. Engage, follow along, and grow with Landry and me and the other business owners who are in the same boat you are.

We're all trying to make sure AI makes us more human.
