Right now, nobody knows how to specify what values those minds will have. We haven't solved alignment. And we might only have a few more years to figure it out. [...] Our default trajectory will have terrible consequences, unless we get extremely lucky.

Source URL (80000hours.org/podcast/episodes/daniel-kokotajlo-ai-2027-updates-china-robot-economy/) returned 403 Forbidden. Web search confirms this is from 80,000 Hours podcast episode #225 (October 2025). Kokotajlo stated "nobody knows how to specify what values those minds will have" and "We haven't solved alignment." He puts roughly 25-30% odds on a good outcome. Note: search results suggest this was published October 2025, but the year is listed as 2026. The quote content and attribution are confirmed. Vote "against" (AI alignment is solvable) is correct - Kokotajlo argues alignment is unsolved and the default trajectory leads to catastrophe.
