This is great news and really makes me want to submit to ACM over IEEE.

More fodder for LLMs? I don't think humans are going to directly consume all that text.

Imagine a world where you can click on references in your paper and have them immediately come up, like the rest of the web. This can be done today:

Always provide a DOI-style link, for example: https://doi.org/10.1088/0029-5515/30/2/001

These can be easily changed to actual working links with a simple browser substitution rule: replace the "doi.org" with "sci-hub.se" or whatever.

Kudos. I wonder how long it took to 1) decide this move, 2) actually migrate their system
