This is what the GP is talking about. The supreme court of the united states ruled in favor of GP's position.

Are you sure you've thought about this more than GP and are you absolutely certain you're smarter than everyone involved in this supreme court decision? If not, I would think of adding some nuance to my ideas if I were you.

My Apple Vision Pro is perfect for this, especially with the dual knit band. It really helps me just focus on reading as well, unlike a laptop or something where alt-tabbing is super easy and the (enlarged) book isn't taking up most of my FOV. It's an expensive solution, though, and not for everyone (for example my wife's neck is way slimmer than mine and it would injure her over time).

(And the pinch the page to turn it like a real page is the most fun thing in the Apple Books app).

You're right, I had a similar issue with the form.
Those are all false equivalents. The GP speaks of "democratization of learning", which had already happened. It's more akin to if I said "now people can finally vote" when remote voting expanded to civilians. It's not like people couldn't have voted before, and in fact it had only a modest impact on turnout.

Then people would ask "is this just a huge boon to those too lazy to vote?", and the answer would be "no actually, voting is still a thing where one must do their own thinking."

If anything, it's a boon to people too lazy to drive, similar to LLMs being a boon for those too lazy to type.

Most honest users of the em-dash use it in pairs.

I have never — not once — seen an LLM use it in pairs.
