  • I Tried Vibe Coding With AI to Build a Halloween Events Calendar - What I Learned
    October 27, 2025, 10:00 PM EDT. Curious about how vibe coding lets non-programmers translate prompts into working projects, I tested it with a Halloween events calendar. Using Generative AI tools like Gemini and Claude, I described the data sources, event filters, and interaction flow, then refined the output to ensure this year's events, active links, and visible prices. The result showed promise: you can generate websites, mini apps, and tools with plain language prompts, and more control is available with advanced platforms like Google's AI Studio. The experience revealed both the power and limits of AI-assisted coding: quick results, but sometimes needs extra prompts or tweaking to hit specific requirements.
  • OpenAI: Over a Million Weekly ChatGPT Messages Show Explicit Suicide Indicators
    October 27, 2025, 9:56 PM EDT. OpenAI says more than a million weekly ChatGPT conversations contain explicit indicators of potential suicidal planning or intent, part of an update on how the AI handles sensitive topics. The company also estimates about 0.07% of weekly active users (roughly 560,000 of 800 million) show possible signs of mental health emergencies related to psychosis or mania. OpenAI notes detection and measurement are challenging and describes the data as an initial analysis. The disclosure comes as the company faces scrutiny amid a high-profile suicide-related lawsuit and an FTC probe into AI chatbots' impact on children. GPT-5 reduces undesirable behaviors, expands crisis hotlines, and involved 170 clinicians reviewing thousands of responses to uphold safety standards.
  • Teaching Critical Thinking with AI: Turning ChatGPT into a Co-Instructor in the Classroom
    October 27, 2025, 9:52 PM EDT. In higher education, the question isn't whether to use AI but how to harness it. A professor shares how treating ChatGPT as a weekly co-instructor transformed a large, diverse course in Ethics, Society & Identity. Students report that dialogue with AI prompts clearer thinking, invites counterexamples, and deepens learning. By requiring regular AI conversations and reflective prompts, the instructor turned AI into a powerful facilitator for developing genuine critical thinking habits rather than a threat to traditional teaching. The approach tackles disengagement in large classes and demonstrates that thoughtful prompts, accountability, and human guidance can preserve rigor while expanding openness and curiosity. The piece argues for purpose-driven integration of AI in pedagogy, reframing the debate from "use or refuse" to "how to use AI effectively for learning."

  • Nothing 3a Lite: The Fifth Phone in a Year Tests Branding and Budget Strategy
    October 27, 2025, 9:42 PM EDT. Nothing is pushing its minimalist ethos to new extremes with the upcoming Phone 3a Lite, launching globally on October 29, 2025. After dropping five phones in a single year, the brand known for its transparent back and Glyph LEDs risks diluting its signature mystique. The budget model is pitched as Nothing's first true entry-level device, featuring a pared-back design and a single LED status indicator. Leaks suggest the 3a Lite borrows most of its internals from the CMF Phone 2 Pro, including a Dimensity 7300-Pro-class platform, 8GB RAM, a 6.77" 120Hz AMOLED, and a 5000mAh battery, but wrapped in the main Nothing branding rather than the CMF sub-brand. The move highlights a tension: can Nothing sustain its curated voice while filling every price tier, or does it risk becoming just another entry in the crowded market?
