    Ep. 4 - Blacktober Hacks PHP, Claude Goes Agenti, and Why AI Slop Won't Win

    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.

    Ep. 3 - SpaceXSI Introduces Grok Bot, Muse, and Human Authenticity in AI-Generated Content

    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.

    Ep. 3 - Meta Drops Muse, ChatGPT-6 Astra, and Why Your AI Forgets Your Work

    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. CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome back to AI Rockstars 00:31 Music check: The Strike, and bringing back the sax 02:17 Divorce dad playlist: 311 and the 90s 02:59 Conversational AI is about to stop sounding like AI 03:41 ElevenLabs, ChatGPT-6 Astra, and Fable 5.1 04:53 Why sounding human is what drives adoption 06:01 Typing is going the way of cursive 06:17 Meta drops Muse 07:14 Costs are falling, and the Opus 5.2 rumor 08:02 The AI safety media tour 08:40 Dario Amodei and the no off button problem 09:01 Tinfoil hat time: who benefits from the fear 10:20 Why "we all die by 2030" does not hold up 11:54 Why we built the community 12:41 Open Mic, and what human first means 14:07 This month's build: GitHub and repositories 14:45 A repo is what makes you portable 16:26 The AI hack: ask it what to do next 17:33 How many agents do you run in a week 19:28 How this episode actually gets made 20:10 Where to find us Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@AIRockstarsShow Join us at www.theairockstars.com and pick your band.

    Ep. 2 - Stripe Buys OpenRouter, Ox Alpha, and When Not to Build It Yourself

    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 a data center. 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. CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to Episode 2 00:49 Music check: Anberlin, Switchfoot, and Stella Lefty 02:45 This week in AI news 03:13 Tinfoil hat time: what OpenRouter actually is 04:28 Stripe acquires OpenRouter 04:47 Ox Alpha, the model nobody will claim 06:30 Is Stripe becoming the next Amazon 07:53 GrokBot drops, xAI buys Cursor 08:34 Why agent-based interfaces change the game 10:40 The August model deluge 11:06 The next race is cost, not capability 11:31 Qwen 3.8 and running models locally 13:04 What AI Rockstars is actually for 14:08 To vibe code or to SaaS 14:33 The real question is time, not AI 15:28 The VA model is being disrupted 16:04 Accent mitigation and what it changes 17:13 Davie on running a VA company 18:14 The VA red flag every agency should watch for 20:13 This month's build: Chrome extensions 20:40 Landry rebuilds his agency intranet in seven days 21:35 Start in Claude Design, not in code 23:24 Killing the operational grind 24:53 Coming in September: GitHub and Claude Code 26:36 Bring us a real business problem 27:04 Use technology to be more human Watch on YouTube: https://youtube.com/@AIRockstarsShow Join us at www.theairockstars.com and pick your band.

    Ep. 1 - Opus 5, AI Degrees, and the One Hire That Changes Your Agency

    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. We 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 us 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. CHAPTERS 00:00 Welcome to AI Rockstars 00:43 What we're doing every week 01:14 Music check: Ella Langley and a band called Couch 04:18 This week in AI news 04:49 Opus 5 vs Fable, and why Fable got pulled 07:31 Cheaper models, and how to stack them properly 09:04 Models breaking out: the raptors are testing the fences 09:43 Landry has never seen Terminator 10:57 Seed Dance 2.5 and undetectable AI video 12:49 ChatGPT Work vs Claude Cowork 14:02 Generative to agentic: where this is headed 15:45 University of Kentucky launches an AI degree 17:35 If you go to college, not when 19:39 The fractional AI hire, and where a VA fits 20:56 Hire a VA who already has AI literacy 21:21 Send your number two 22:33 It's the late '90s all over again 23:16 This month's build: custom Chrome extensions 24:15 Four hours, and the most loved tool in the agency 24:56 Don't spend $1,000 on a course 26:23 The future is humanity 27:41 Where to find us WHERE TO FIND US Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AIRockstarsShow Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/podcast/id6796053920 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033Y2tKfaHyi3CQnF9GQg4 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/d0870f89-c1ef-4c38-b488-2410607917cf LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/theairockstars Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheAiRockstars Join the community: https://www.theairockstars.com www.theairockstars.com www.theairockstars.com
