News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

1) Buy a $200 drone, fly it around for a day and record video output.

2) Write a web scraper and run it for a day on an AWS instance.

3) Download any of the publicly released data sets. There are lot of interesting ones out there, including medical imaging, etc.

4) Hack a video game engine to generate data.

5) Write your own data generator (could even be a generative NN model). Not all data can be simulated, but when it can be, doing so is incredibly powerful.

A few of the above options were not available just 5-7 years ago. Data is becoming more publicly accessible, not less.

That doesn't preclude the same outcome as globalization where the "rich" accumulate a much greater proportion of overall wealth while the "poor" are still left much better off in absolute terms. To say nothing of falling in-between.
