Just relating what I recently saw on social media: apparently, there are Standford students who created a sort of wrapper around arXiv (https://alphaxiv.org/), through which everyone can comment on arXiv papers

Not sure if this is effectively useful for every paper, but feedback is always valuable so I thought I would share this info here

I hope they have a good moderation plan!

Something like this was tried a decade ago as the Selected Papers Network. Maybe this one will be more successful.

There's also https://scirate.com, which has been in use for many years now, mainly by quantum information theorists. It has the additional feature/bug that papers can be voted on ('scited').

All the featured papers seem to be about machine learning / large language models. That makes sense if they're trying to get buy-in.
