vibecession noun [C]
/ˌvaɪbˈseʃ.ᵊn/
a period during which people feel very worried and pessimistic about the economy when in fact it is in a strong position

Oddly, surveys have consistently shown most Americans feeling pretty good about their own financial situation. But they insisted that bad things were happening to the economy — that is, other people. The commentator Kyla Scanlon coined the term “vibecession,” now widely used to mean a situation in which negative views about the economy don’t seem to match up with the data.

p(doom) noun [U]
/ˌpiːˈduːm/
a humorous way, based on a scientific formula (where p = probability), of describing the chances that AI will kill all humans

The term that began as a half-serious inside joke on tech message boards to describe the odds that AI destroys humankind, has broken into the mainstream. The buzzword is p(doom), and it provides both AI experts and average know-nothings a common scale to describe where they stand on the question of whether AI is going to kill us.
