There have been articles about how "data is the new oil" for a couple of decades now, with the first reference I could find being from British mathematician Clive Humby in 2006 [0]. The fact that it rings even more true in the age of LLMs is simply just another transformation of the fundamental data underneath.

I am specifically referring to the phrase I quoted, not some more abstract sentiment.
