NathanpmYoung demos Common Notes, a browser extension (Chrome and Firefox) that lets you see notes other people have left on any article or YouTube video.
The example note cites Scott Alexander: Katja Grace's survey of AI researchers publishing at major conferences found a sample of 1,600 gave a doom proposition an 18% chance on average — the mean, not the median, which was just 10%. Young warns people often mistake the 18% mean for the median.
