From Reading to Doing: Alkemata’s Capsule Experiment
Alkemata proposes portable capsules that combine ideas, evidence and practical workflows, helping readers use their own LLMs to build projects and return experience to shared knowledge.

The Asylum Interview Is Not a Chatbot
Digital tools can prepare and document asylum interviews, but trained humans must hear consequential accounts, manage ambiguity and remain answerable for credibility judgments.
Status Is a Promise, Not a Coloured Dot
