Beholder data

Data that is created by you but stored and owned by a company. The company displays it to you but you do not have any rights to it. Typically the company says it's not used by anyone else but you and you have the rights to it but in practice the data is really hard to download or use by anything else than the company's own products.

- Hey, the data is harmless let Google have it. I mean what can they do with it?
- What if you want to use it to something else, like controlling your Samsung device?
- I can just download it, no problem, right?
- Nah man, its beholder data only.

Talk Data to me

An invitation for companies to explore their business data, and embark on a data journey through analytics and visualization. A feeling of excitement and arousal is achieved when companies talk about their data, see their data, tell their data stories, and make informed decisions based on these unified monitoring data dashboards.

I love it when my bosses talk Data to me, it really gets my analytic juices flowing.

Data Center Backlash

Yeah you didn't do the dedicated nuclear power source initially so you gotta do the immersion cooling. I said that initially! Not the immersion cooling thing but the dedicated power source. I mean, what were you even thinking? I said explicitly that it would pull power from the fucking city if it didn't have it's own dedicate power source! You don't listen!

Hym "And look what's happening now. There is this huge AI data center backlash. You don't care because you're a fucking solipsist and those people aren't even real to you. If inventing the AI you're stealing isn't enough that I don't know what would be. How many problems would you have not had if you had listened to me since I've been here? All of you. How many problems would you NOT have? I mean you managed not to go out and stab a senator but really that is the bare minimum of not listening when you shouldn't. But NOT LISTENING WHEN YOU SHOULD is what's happening here and the data center backlash is evidence of that. You CLEARLY cannot tell the difference. You used your own dumb brain INSTEAD OF THE AI CREATING GENIUS BRAIN YOU ARE STEALING and look what happened! We can all just choke on some fucking methane I guess. We can all just fucking DIE! THAT WAS THE ORIGINAL PLAN!"
