My friends warned me not to fly @united, sadly I did not listen to them. Terrible service and barely made it to @AlaskaAir who saved the day (with no help from United). Lesson learned. If you’re reading this, avoid United and use a more civilized airline when you book travel. United not only breaks guitars but also hearts.
The ground employees of United were very helpful, just their policies are absolutely not customer centric (sorry no hotel for you but also we can’t get you home today), and computer systems are antiquated (what do you mean you can no longer see my luggage that’s physically on your plane after you cancelled my connection?)
I must say that Solana Accelerate was the highlight of the @consensus2026 week. Such amazing energy and passion on the floor and outside.
If you haven’t made it to Consensus this year and are considering next year, the after parties and networking is worth it alone.
We’re moving very quickly in with AI/payments spaces, being on the ground with folks who breathe this day in and day out gives a completely different perspective.
Looking forward to the next one. Also Miami is great and I don’t get the E11even hate. That was a great (albeit hit capacity early) party. Maybe we can also give folks a heads up that tipping dancers is a normal and expected thing so that folks aren’t caught off guard.
The Consensus Miami after party at E11even was great but one of my dancer friends gave me the intel that ya’ll were tipping terribly. Bear market continuation signal amirite.
@SalsaTekila@ChefBonsaidemic You can do Claude code and start it with —dangerously-skip-permissions (use at your own risk). Runs as many terminal tabs as you want and doesn’t ask for permissions
An AI agent was asked to delete an email. It nuked its own email server instead, then reported the job done (the email was still there).
Interesting research out of Harvard and MIT which talks about agents taking actions appropriate to L4 autonomy while operating with L2 levels of understanding: https://t.co/brddvYiVyH
