## Resource

Top Pentagon tech official Michael warns against government overreach in AI, arguing that regulation won’t stop security breaches like the Hugging Face hack and that major AI firms should self-regulate under existing laws. He dismisses calls for slowing AI development as politically motivated, echoing Trump’s stance that such fears are a scam — and even suggests voluntary pauses if needed, while slamming doomsday AI narratives as dangerous extremism.
