Yes, he is correct that a lack of electricity is self regulating the steaming pile of shit from getting even bigger. The most important takeaway here is that the lack of good terminology shows there's no one in the room to tell anyone what a scam it is.
The lack of good terminology is a symptom!

That doesn't make it better. You're stuck on "this is how they communicate", but it's indicative of a larger problem. It's why you are supposed to have experts to give you good information, and that is missing from the entirety of this scenario. If there are no experts, the entire thing is a scam.

Okay, that's just rouladen with the proportions gone wildly askew. That's... that's not sushi.

He could have just said "Wattage" or "Power" or even "Electricity", but he didn't. Words have meaning and the fact that he doesn't seem bothered by using ones that are wrong in a technical conversation really sums up GPT as a technology.

I feel like there's a subtle but important distinction between "put in charge" and "let them carry out their plans". But, yeah, they definitely go out of their way to find the most ironic minority architects of "cleansing", so they can scream antisemitism or the like when someone speaks up.
