What Farid said below. I would assume le sserafim has read Nassim Taleb, because that is where this term originated from.
The concept of antifragility uses examples from science and mathematics to argue that some systems are strengthened by encounters with disorder. It is an interesting concept that basically says you can thrive in a system of disorder, randomness, or stress. Antifragility goes beyond mere resilience (the ability to bounce back from adversity) in that it embraces and gains from uncertainty. Decentralization, diversity, experimentation and innovation are characteristics of antifragile systems as they allow continuous improvement and new learning from disruptions.
Say you got laid off. You could view that as a chance to not only bounce back (find a new job), but also as a chance to expose yourself to better job or career opportunities, as well as anything that could improve your wellbeing. Basically, it's the "improvise, adapt, overcome" meme.
The hacker group Anonymous is also an incredibly good example of antifragility. No matter how hard governments and law enforcers try to destroy the organization, it will never cease to die due to how it's structured.

While most portfolios crumbled during the stock market crash, Dave's grew in value thanks to its antifragile properties. By diversifying across asset classes instead of focusing on any one sector, his portfolio benefited from the volatility instead of breaking under the pressure.

Get the feminine penismug. A guy who (along with his brother Lyle) committed homicide on his parents as a result of chronic sexual abuse and was defending for his life. Although it is tempting to label it as manslaughter, the planning was 100% deliberate and thus a first-degree homicide.

Get the Erik Menendezmug. Wake up in the morning feeling like P Diddy (Hey, what up girl?)
Grab my glasses, I'm out the door; I'm gonna hit this city (Let's go)
Before I leave, brush my teeth with a bottle of Jack
'Cause when I leave for the night, I ain't coming back
I'm talking pedicure on our toes, toes
Trying on all our clothes, clothes
Boys blowing up our phones, phones
Drop-topping, playing our favorite CD's
Rollin' up to the parties
Trying to get a little bit tipsy
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm-a fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tik tok on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm-a fight
'Til we see the sunlight
Tick-tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no
Ain't got a care in world, but got plenty of beer
Ain't got no money in my pocket, but I'm already here
And now the dudes are lining up 'cause they hear we got swagger
But we kick 'em to the curb unless they look like Mick Jagger
I'm talking about everybody getting crunk, crunk
Boys tried to touch my junk, junk
Gonna smack him if he getting too drunk, drunk
Now, now, we goin' till they kick us out, out
Or the police shut us down, down
Police shut us down, down
Po-po shut us
Don't stop, make it pop
DJ, blow my speakers up
Tonight, I'm-a fight
Till we see the sunlight
Tick-tock on the clock
But the party don't stop, no

Get the Charmug. Some wack music streaming service also dubbed "radio" that caters mainly towards middle-aged conservative Americans (i.e. none of those reading this definition).
I've noticed that many companies like to give away free Sirius XM subscriptions in exchange for trying out their products/services. But unless you're into classic rock or sports, it's worth absolutely nothing for those that fall outside its main demographic. Don't even think about trying it. Just use Spotify or TIDAL.

Friend 1: Hey I bought a PS5 and they gave me 3 months of Sirius XM for free, you want it?
Friend 2: Ew no, that's like Spotify but for boomers
