And people are flabbergasted at the healthy skepticism towards pharmaceutical companies, when they literally treat people like expendable cattle at every chance they get.

As someone who worked in the clinical trial industry, pharmaceutical companies are horrible. Thankfully we have a robust drug approval process, with oversight and audits at every step of the way, to more or less keep them in line. It's nothing like software development where literally anything can sneak into production code.
That's just corporations though. Maybe we should think about alignment...
