Pour yourself an old fashioned and pull up a stool — Arlis

and Darryl are back for round two of Happy AI Hour.

This week the guys dig into the AI story everyone's watching:

Elon Musk vs. OpenAI, a.k.a. the "Trial of the Decade." From

Elon's original $38M investment back in 2015 to Microsoft's

billion-dollar play to the nonprofit-vs-profit drama that

cracked the whole thing open — they break down what's at

stake and why this lawsuit could reshape the entire AI

landscape.

Then things get fun. Darryl walks Arlis through the world

of agentic and autonomous AI — the next leap beyond just

"asking ChatGPT a question." We're talking AI that scans

your inbox, books your reservations, screens your calls,

and runs your business while you're at happy hour.

In this episode:

- The Elon vs. Sam Altman lawsuit and why it matters

- Why people jumped from ChatGPT to Claude after the

Anthropic government contract drama

- Agentic AI explained — and why building one puts you in

the top 1%

- Darryl's "Kai" agent, Open Claw, Claude Code, and running

bots through Telegram

- Lead scraping with Apollo and Claw for AI

- How the small business guy can finally compete with the

Fortune 500

- The HVAC guy who's losing business because he can't

answer the phone (and how AI fixes it)

- Bank of England sounding the alarm — when AI agents

become cyber weapons

- Darryl's 4 Pillars of Prompt Engineering (steal these):

1. Tell it who to be

2. Give it context

3. Ask your question

4. Tell it to ask YOU questions back

- Manus and Twin — the agentic tools Darryl's using this week

- Arlis's mission: build an AI agent for Lost Saints

This one's for the medium-level AI user — you've used

ChatGPT, you get the basics, and you're ready to see what's

actually possible when you stop chasing squirrels and start

building.

Cheers. 🥃
