Definitely seem like bad investments from my perspective on databricks.

Databricks is great at offering a "distributed spark/kubernetes in a box" platform. But its AI integration is one of the least helpful I've experienced. It's very interuptive to a workflow, and very rarely offers genuinely useful help. Most users I've seen turn it off, something databricks must be aware of because they require admins permission for users to opt out of AI.

I don't mean to rant, there's lots that is useful in databricks, but it doesn't seem like this funding round is targeting any of that.
