Judging by the URL I assume this site will serve a wide variety of specific topics. (ie: covid.infitok.com, nuclear.infitok, etc)
Why not just scientific papers I'm general? I don't really care about AI.
What does Tok mean here?
It's a reference to TikTok. In the case of "wikitok", instead of browsing brainrot you flip randomly through Wikipedia articles. Check it out (on mobile): https://wikitok.vercel.app/
In the case of OP it is similar except exclusively AI academic papers (click the OP link on mobile). The interesting thing is this appears to be a subset of another site that is yet to be launched, so presumably you could, in the future, be able to browse other lists by replacing the "papers" in the URL with some other topic.
I think they mean it is also infinite scrolling like tiktok and maybe even with algorithm.
Almighty Algorithms, ew.
Algorithms are awesome when they don't have ulterior motives.
If its goal to is to give scientific minds the hyperspecific hyperfixation they'll end up wanting to study, I think we could make an exception. Until it peddles bullshit I guess
