I refuse to believe that this is a thing.

@binarybits an ocean is a network of lakes? these people need to go back to metaphor school

@binarybits Many lakes does not an ocean make.

@binarybits As someone in the industry I have never heard of a "data ocean" so I chalk it up to the LLM just hallucinating a plausible description

@binarybits That the primary citations are to LinkedIn is a strong hint that it's PR speak only IMO.

@binarybits Ran into a Data Lakehouse the other day, which is supposed to be a lake/warehouse hybrid.

@binarybits Seems like just new terms for "on-prem" vs. "cloud" at a time where you could have a dedicated server in someone else's space substituting for "on-prem".

@binarybits @grok who is saying “data ocean”?

@binarybits I think that a lot of very smart people had some problems and then had to explain those problems to people who were not involved in the details. Or were running fake job sinecures. Or both.

@binarybits You've also got Data Lakehouses and Delta Lakes now.

@binarybits Which one do you object to? I’ve never heard the ocean one before.

@binarybits Would you rather have a Data Desert? I personally prefer the unique ecology of Data Wetlands.
