YouTube video by Craig'n'Dave The AI band trolling the world - Velvet Sundown

🎧 A band with 850K+ Spotify listeners. No gigs. No social accounts. Possibly not even real.

The Velvet Sundown is the AI-generated band that fooled the internet — and raised big questions about the future of music.

Why does your perfect digital design look like a potato when printed? 🥔

It’s all about DPI.
💻 72 DPI = great for screens
🖨️ 300 DPI = essential for print

Avoid pixelated disasters.

What’s endianness?

It’s how computers order bytes — big-endian or little-endian. 🥚💻

YouTube video by Craig'n'Dave How does vibe coding work?

Vibe coding = tell, don’t type. 💻

Say what you want, & AI writes the code — functions, forms, even docs (if it’s in a good mood).
It’s like autocomplete on protein powder.
