An individual that uses usually free but sometimes paid services like search engines, social media platforms, streaming services, cloud storage for photos and videos, apps on smart phones, and carries a smart phone with them everywhere they go. The companies offer these services have exploitative EULA's and terms of use, which enables them to take the massive amount of private information/data a user generates, sell it to whoever thinks they can extrapolate something from it or sell it again for profit all while the user really gets nothing from the sales of their personal data and constant violation of their privacy other than using said "free" service. Additionally while using these "free" services, in addition to having their data sold/privacy constantly violated, a user's personal time is usually monetized by constantly showing them advertisements.
We're all data slaves, man. Google is out here making billions of dollars per month from selling our data and we get nothing for it.

It's like a data lake and a house. With AI pushing all the limits, data lakes are not enough. You need a data lakehouse to keep all your ones and zeros together and LLM'd to the max.
We tried everything to get our chatbot to get smarter, but the data lakehouse provided the connectivity and bandwidth we needed.

Derogatory. A paradigm that some closed minded programmers adopt; thinking that they can only use or have access to data that they have in the immediate environment, memory or localized systems.
Tom, We do have other information. Lets move from little data thinking; we have access to the outdoor temperature of many other sources in the same zip code than just the one in the car.
