What Jason is saying about AI Security

Recent posts from Jason's feed, in his own words.
Follow any of them through for the full argument.

AI risk scoring
I predicted the U.S. export ban on Anthropic's Fable 5 would be temporary. Eighteen days later, it was gone. The real story is what came next: a CVSS-style severity score for AI jailbreaks.

AI sovereignty
I froze for a moment. "Doveryai, no proveryai", the Russian phrase that slipped my mind mid-panel. Its translation didn't: "Trust, but verify."

AI velocity
When a government pulled Anthropic's model over a jailbreak, I argued it fixed nothing. If one week of model access can threaten you, the model was never the problem. Your patch latency was.

AI-native defence
How about, instead of worrying about AI attacks, we booby-trap them instead? An AI agent probing your systems has a weakness a human does not: it ingests your content, and you can trap it.

AI cost
Me use caveman skill. Me think big. Me save big.
A daft-sounding toggle that cuts AI token costs by 65 to 75 percent, because the bill scales with verbosity, not just usage.

Boardroom risk
The biggest risk in mid-market organisations isn't AI doing too much. It's their leadership expecting it to.

How I created an AI viral scoring system for LinkedIn posts

Talk
Mindstone London May AI Meetup · London, United Kingdom · May 2026Mindstone Cambridge AI Meetup · Cambridge, United Kingdom · April 2026
Read the abstract

One LinkedIn post hardly gathers traction whilst another goes viral. I wanted to know why, so I used AI to find out. What I found surprised me, and led me to build a system for predicting the likely engagement and reach of any LinkedIn post before it goes live. In this session I'll share how I used AI at every step: to conduct the research, spot unexpected patterns and build the scoring system itself. I'll also give you access to the tool, so you can score and optimise your own posts on the day. Whether you're using LinkedIn to build a personal brand, grow your business profile or drive sales, you'll leave with a new mental model for what makes content perform, a practical tool you can use straight away and a clearer sense of how to approach your own problems with AI. There's a live demo at the end. Bring a draft LinkedIn post.

How To Evidence AI Security

Talk
Mindstone London AI meet-up · London, United Kingdom · March 2026Mindstone Cambridge AI meet-up · Cambridge, United Kingdom · February 2026
Read the abstract

We've reached an inflection point: stakeholders are scrutinising AI Security posture. Boards are seeking reassurance, procurement teams are probing and regulators are circling, and all want evidence that your AI systems and the data they process are properly governed. This talk covers Shadow AI risks, the governance gaps most organisations miss and practical principles your team can apply to prepare for and evidence AI Security practices.
