Xikipedia is a pseudo social media feed that algorithmically shows you content from Simple Wikipedia. It is made as a demonstration of how even a basic non-ML algorithm with no data from other users can quickly learn what you engage with to suggest you more similar content. The algorithm runs locally and no data leaves your device.

Once Xikipedia has loaded, it is available fully offline, and you can even install it as an app by clicking the install button.

Personally having trouble with getting this to work on an iPhone, but I always thought hijacking the techniques used to keep our attention on things that make other people money, and using it for our own good, like endlessly clicking Wikipedia articles for our own edification instead of endlessly clicking outrage bait, would be cool. Now someone went and did it, albeit with a demonstrative intent instead of “hook you on useful information instead of my lootbox gambling game”.
