The BMW sign is genuine. It is the famous "Isetta".

Congratulations, you are living your life according to some values and standards, instead of just being envious and dissatisfied all the time.

Sometimes a name is misleading.

That's right. The name of the party "national socialists" was chosen carefully.

It seems a contradiction in itself, because nationalists would have meant the far right, and socialists would have meant the far left (and there were actually lots of other parties in between at that time before he took all the power). In truth he wanted to deceive both sides by the name.

No, you got that very wrong.

If you really want to ask for values in their ideology, it was the values of fascism (not much in terms of 'values' according to today's understanding)

But it wasn't the values that brought them votes at all. It was populism and terrorism.

I guess this would be a good starting point for your reading:

Isn't California the Capitol of the world? ;-)

I really don't think that the AI guys want to be anywhere else.

any other type of technology

Are there, for example, nuclear weapons available for general use?

What am I missing out on as a regular internet user by using the default equipment.

You miss an understanding about what your devices do. Including the devices you got from your provider.

As a consequence, you remain clueless when your devices get attacked and taken over.

What am I missing out on as a self-hoster by using whatever equipment metronet gives me?

You miss the chance of securing your network.

As a self hoster, you are a little bit more attractive, and there are more possibilities of attacking your devices, than a typical PC or mobile user.

My suggestion is an extra router with OpenWRT between the metronet device and all your other stuff. You will get some better understanding just by configuring your OpenWRT for the first time. Their documentation is very good.

I don't think AI companies care about their models being misused

Yes, that is one of the current questions, if you have read the article: Should they care?

It is a serious question, because if the models are misused, that could be a threat to all mankind - much worse than a warehouse full of weapons. And if they are required to care, then they might have to rebuild their models fundamentally, and they don't know how.

It’s also not clear if it’s even possible to fully prevent AI systems from misbehaving. The truth is, we don’t know a lot about how LLMs work, and today’s leading AI models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google are jailbroken all the time. That’s why some researchers are saying regulators should focus on the bad actors, not the model providers.

It seems a complicated debate. Hard to find out where you want to stand. I want to show a method to find answers by creating 3 variants of an analogy.

For how many of these cases do you think somebody should be doing something?

Case 1:
A huge warehouse full of firearms. Burglars are breaking into it every night and stealing lots of weapons. The owners say they don't know how this warehouse was built and how to make it more secure in order to stop the criminals from obtaining lots of new weapons every day. The general public starts calling to the government to do something. Some say the warehouse owner should take responsibility. Others say it all depends on how the criminals use the weapons. The criminals seem to know how to use them good...

Case 2:
A huge warehouse full of hammers. Burglars are breaking into it every night and stealing lots of hammers. The owners say they don't know how this warehouse was built and how to make it more secure in order to stop the criminals from obtaining lots of new hammers every day. The general public starts calling to the government to do something. Some say the warehouse owner should take responsibility. Others say it all depends on how the criminals use the hammers. The criminals seem to know how to use them good...

Case 3:
A huge warehouse full of tulips. Burglars are breaking into it every night and stealing lots of flowers. The owners say they don't know how this warehouse was built and how to make it more secure in order to stop the criminals from obtaining lots of new flowers every day. The general public starts calling to the government to do something. Some say the warehouse owner should take responsibility. Others say it all depends on how the criminals use the tulips. The criminals seem to know how to use them good...

Ich würde vermuten, es kommt von "der Ton", bzw "der Unterton". Der macht bekanntlich die Musik.
