<p>Surely a properly done con job includes convincing the conned that they haven't been conned?<p>I think if an AI tricks us, it'll be a while before we find out. I don't know if this sort of thing is likely, but maybe an AI currently conning me has surreptitiously convinced me it isn't.</p>

<p>People will have more things to worry about sooner. Where I live, if the power goes out so does my water. If AI is involved in either at any time in the future we will deserve what happens to us.<p>Also I disagree with the permise. People learned how to make technology that never existed once already, they can learn to do it again if needed. It will take time, which we'll have plenty of because your phone won't be working.</p>

<p>Tesla makes batteries and battery powered cars, which are indifferent of energy source. They do make some solar panels, but are a minor player not even in the top 10 by shipped capacity worldwide. But chineese companies like LONGi Solar and JinkoSolar aren't "one guy" (even though they ship 50x what Tesla does), so I guess they don't count.</p>

A single unwarranted notification will get me to disable all notifications or uninstall your app. If you don't hate ads enough, you'll find yourself being shown ads.</p>
