Re: Kanye West's Stem Player – An engineering disaster
#2It’s always weird when public figures (who are not engineers) try to develop sophisticated physical products. Of course it’s going to be terrible. It’s like if Google would, I don’t know, make an action movie. Or if, say, the Dalai Lama would launch his own brand of cars. It’s not what they do.

#3Reminds me of this classic review of Will.i.am's smart watch.
The review was...unflattering

#4-- Not sure what alleged role she is alleging - even after reading this 10,300 word essay - my understanding was that it's supposed to be a fun toy for the musically inclined (similar to teenage engineering products) - maybe i'm wrong - but it does fulfill that role perfectly - I sat on a 6 hour flight and did nothing but make tunes with my OP-Z and Stem Player - similar to TE products - the Stem Player is one of the most fun toys I've purchased as an adult - "I genuinely believe the Stem Player will be out of everyone's mind in a few months and will be remembered as that weird gadget ye shoved the fans' throat to access the album." - I don't even like Kanye West music - I've been playing with this thing weekly for months - again - it's a really fun toy --

#5I remember downloading the stems from their API and the serial number checks were just length check of the parameter. Surprised that Donda 2 is still not available on any streaming platform.

Oh, right. The "Wassup, Googlers?" guy. He gave a tech talk at the Mountain View campus where he made a ringtone and then put it up online for sale for a buck.
Nothing will ever stop that guy from hustling.

That’s not what happened here. Kanye essentially worked with an engineering company that specializes in these kinds of products.

What ? Kanye West is not developping the apps himself, he is just giving money and maybe the ideas. I don't see why it should be terrible.
And it's not what they do until it is. Amazon is making some decent movies and series.
