What Brian Eno is missing, is that global markets are created by billions of human minds on the basis of a constant process of trial-and-error (to the extents government allows them to try and fail). It's not just error tolerant. It's constantly making profit by improving and correcting errors. And it's been around for 1000s of years.
Whereas computers have been around for less than a century and are programmed by a few people and AI may not have with "common sense" or error tolerance. To deliver yourself to that seems unacceptable to me.
Even so it serves as a very graphic reminder of how interconnected all of humanity and industry is at this point.
