It’s a reference to TikTok. In the case of “wikitok”, instead of browsing brainrot it flips randomly through Wikipedia articles. Check it out (on mobile): wikitok.vercel.app

I think they mean it is also infinite scrolling like tiktok and maybe even with algorithm.

Hey @WreckingBANG@lemmy.ml! There’s no algorithm in place as of now. However based on the feedback I received on Reddit, people want some sort of recommendation algorithm to get the most relevant papers.

That’s… Very specific.

Why not just scientific papers I’m general? I don’t really care about AI…

Hey @Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works Being an AI researcher, I’d initially just developed this as a prototype to get feedback from others in the field. Since, that’s accomplished, we’ve also added other arXiv categories!

Hey @gedaliyah@lemmy.world I’ve now added support to browse other categories on arXiv as well! Please check it out!

Judging by the URL I assume this site will serve a wide variety of specific topics. (ie: covid.infinitok.com, nuclear.infinitok, etc)
