We’re living in a world shaped by algorithms. They’re not just curating our feeds, they’re changing the way we speak.
Dexter talks with Adam Aleksic, aka the Etymology Nerd, about his new book Algospeak: How Social Media Is Transforming the Future of Language. They unpack how algorithmic censorship on social media is reshaping the way we use language online, and how it’s bleeding into real life.
