“OpenAI’s $6.5 billion acquisition of Jony Ive’s io Products isn’t just the largest deal in the company’s history — it’s the ritual completion of what I warned about in ‘Node Without Consent.’ Ive, the legendary designer behind the iPhone, iPad, and Apple’s most iconic products, is now building something far more insidious. If ‘Node Without Consent’ revealed the architecture of biodigital control, this moment represents its activation — where the theoretical framework snaps shut and the dream of human agency must now be fought for at the level of metaphysics itself.” (06/18/25)
