In the short term. Right now the bad guys (well, non-state bad guys) don't have access to frontier models with the cyber security nanny mode disabled. However open source models are getting better every day and most don't have those guardrails, and even if they do it's not impossible to remove them when you have access to the weights. So yea, short term it's going to be an issue.

Long term, however, once this initial tsunami is worked through then hopefully more of these types of bugs will be found before new code ships, making it harder to find critical vulnerabilities in the wild.

You do you. For myself, after getting a chemo port implanted on my 49th birthday following having a large tumor and half my colon removed I decided sometime escaping through alcohol was no longer worth it. Maybe too late to decide that but I'd rather give it up that take any more chances. So far I somehow still make it through the day.

Why not get a full roof system though?

Maybe a couple of thousand for something you can do yourself in a day with no red tape vs many thousands of dollars, permits, possible roof replacement required, engineering approval from your power company, electricians and solar installer labor, etc.

The systems shut down when power to the plug they are hooked up to goes off. It's both a safety feature required by the new codes that allow these, and because they have to sync to grid frequency to even work in the first place. So any approved units should shut down if power is lost, the main breaker is flipped, or the breaker for the circuit they are plugged into is flipped.

Inert doesn't matter, it's insulation breakdown due to the high voltage not a chemical attack on the Teflon. They found the drops carrying a voltage potential of up to 1kV. When the drop hits, that voltage is enough to let the charge punch through the insulating Teflon to the metal below it, blasting a tiny hole in the Teflon as the charge transfers.
