Its unfair to compare Databricks to OpenAI because they're at very different points in the enshittification[1] process.

OpenAI is still early, burning VC money to acquire customers by operating at a loss. This makes it appear cheap.

DataBricks is further along, attempting to claw back the value they provided to customers by raising prices.

That may be, but our use of DB was 1/1000 of what we do in a month with OpenAI and the bill we racked up was $3,000 in 1 day. We talked with them and because we freaked out and deleted the widget (whatever the connectors are called) they didn't have logs for what we did, so they couldn't refund anything (they were willing). The fact that they couldn't find anything because we deleted whatever it was, that was weird, because they could certainly bill us. We're never using them again.

But they can’t get the value as long as they have to compete with snowflake.
