Could you provide examples of healthcare executives held personally liable for harm resulting from reckless decision-making? I have never heard of such a thing happening in healthcare so framing CEO responsibility as a solution to the problem sounds like a stretch to me.

Some examples: Elizabeth Holmes got canned for lying to investors, not harming patients. Purdue Pharma plead guilty to misleading regulators and giving doctors kickbacks, not causing some hundreds of thousands of opioid deaths, but no Sackler family members were personally tried.

Pharmaceuticals are heavily regulated, the "we vibecoded a therapeutic and released it without testing" hypothetical has no basis in reality

Would Doom give a sociopath instructions on how to commit a mass shooting if asked? I don't remember that part of the game

Only through the first two paragraphs but a little turned off by the "everybody else is wrong, we are right and it's this one specific thing" attitude when it the topic is understanding something as complex and opaque as the global economy

The cheminformatics I do (mostly drug discovery/biophysics) definitely requires bonds!

I'd be really interested to know of anybody making money with those topics (and doesn't already have their own domain-specific practice for the problem)

This code is jibberish to me, but it appears the target is just parsing how many atoms are in a molecule string of some representation. That's cool, but to do just about anything useful in chemistry we need the bond graph (and often more - bond orders stereochemistry, plus much more for biopolymers).

Much like the classic "our department in [big company] works a lot like a startup"
