"An American slowdown slows nobody in Beijing, and it leaves American hospitals, utilities, and banks as softer targets, denied the only tools capable of detecting, deceiving, and defeating an intrusion that arrives at machine speed."
There is an “administrative” element to security - ensuring policies are followed by personnel - such as changing default passwords, or actually enabling the enterprise controls on the enterprise owned phone provided to an employee.
Laws and policies are just words on paper - following and enforcing them provide the administrative control element for cyber security.
Precisely so. Competition is key. Lots of separate actors jockeying for competitive advantage sounds like chaos to the statists, but it actually means everyone has an incentive to stop bad actors. If Anthropic and OpenAI succeed in their push for "regulation", what they really mean is "public utility" like AT&T before 1982, and the result will be all competition will be frozen out, and we will be at their leftist mercy.
Cyber security is a must and the Gold Eagle statute must be passed by Congress asap. Time to nudge the Senatorial Committee and get this vote scheduled.
Ruth, like always, a bullseye. Protecting satellite infrastructure and the development of Space Force capabilities will support the Gold Eagle Initiative. Partnership with SpaceX too will help. If the drive by media was doing their job, Ai security would be a main focus, but much like the CCP who controls competition within their command economy, they see American Ai competition as a threat. Staying ahead through competition is key to US economic growth and security. The establishment of the US Space Academy will help grow that capability.
America cannot regulate Beijing’s hackers out of existence by handcuffing American engineers. A unilateral pause would give Washington a press conference while leaving hostile operators at their keyboards. Muse gets the strategic problem right: the enemy chooses the weakest connection, regardless of how impressive your flagship technology looks onstage. Vendor access deserves the same ruthless scrutiny as the front door. I want American defenders equipped to find those weaknesses continuously, with authorization and accountability built into the mission. Companies cannot sell security as a premium feature while treating their connected systems as somebody else’s responsibility. National security begins where the sales presentation stops.
YES ... as Alexander points out ...

I agree. Slowing down makes no sense.
I wrote a couple of essays about this in the past few months. I called it the Defender's Paradox:
