We’re all going to be just fine.

@joannastern I don't understand how we keep getting "Challenge n: PASS" when it was clearly a fail.

@joannastern I just watched your amazing story this morning at WSJ. Thank you for making actually useful news. A horror story!
@joannastern And yet people think I'm paranoid for keeping my face and audio offline...
@joannastern This is 100% going to end in a tense scene where a WSJ reporter has to figure out who the real Joanna is and shoot the robot doppelganger.
@joannastern Fun video Joanna! I’m sure you may have been told this a million times already but GPT had no idea what iOS 16 was cuz its data stops at 2021 (frustratingly)
