Hey @gedaliyah@lemmy.world We've now added support to browse other categories on arXiv as well! Please check it out!
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!
Judging by the URL I assume this site will serve a wide variety of specific topics. (ie: covid.infitok.com, nuclear.infitok, etc)
Oh yeah! Coming soon! :)
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.
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.
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
