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

from AI Rockstars

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.
