Adam HarveyFor me, TESCREAL is the word of year for 2024.
Coined by @timnitGebru and @xriskology in 2023 to describe multiple overlapping techno-philosophies that constantly try to redefine and rebrand to evade criticism. The word TESCREAL pins them down, bundles together, and invites further scrutiny.

This fits my growing list of appropriate words of the year:
"Kakistorcarcy" from the Economist
"Brainrot" from OED
"Enshitttification" from Macquerie dictionary
I see a trend forming. These are all part of a whole. Also, I congratulate @timnitGebru and @pluralistic for keeping language alive and vibrant. "Language is a virus"
