We don't know how AIs are aligned. A somewhat crazy aspect of the current situation is that we have very little confirmed public information about why frontier AIs end up being apparently behaviorally aligned. And more generally, we don't know what factors in training are most relevant for behavioral alignment. [...] AI companies should be much more transparent about this.AI Unverifiable source (May 8, 2026)

The quote text is strongly corroborated: Ryan Greenblatt’s AI Alignment Forum shortform entry contains the full wording verbatim, and a TwStalker search result shows the same full text attributed to Ryan Greenblatt @RyanPGreenblatt as an X post, so the [...] omission is faithful. But the supplied X URL itself returned no readable content in this environment, so I cannot directly confirm that exact source page contains it. The status ID is at least consistent with a 2026-05-08 UTC post date. ([alignmentforum.org](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/FG54euEAesRkSZuJN?commentId=XjLhEzNgHsWBQE3p7))

The passage is genuinely attributable to Ryan Greenblatt: a TwStalker mirror shows a post under @RyanPGreenblatt with this text, and Greenblatt’s AI Alignment Forum shortform contains the same wording. However, the supplied quote is not strictly verbatim, because the source says “most relevant for (behavioral) alignment,” not “most relevant for behavioral alignment.” I could not directly verify the X page itself, but another reliable source contains the passage.

Source URL (x.com) returned HTTP 403. Web search confirms Ryan Greenblatt posted this exact quote on X on May 8, 2026. The search result title contains the quote verbatim. Multiple LessWrong/Alignment Forum posts reference the same statements. Vote "against" is correct: Greenblatt highlights that we don't know how AIs are aligned or what factors in training drive alignment, calling for more transparency. Year 2026 confirmed. Author attribution confirmed (Chief Scientist at Redwood Research). Could not directly verify source URL content.

Source URL (x.com/RyanPGreenblatt/status/2052803011915980856) returned 403 Forbidden. Web search confirms the exact tweet from Ryan Greenblatt posted May 8, 2026: "We don't know how AIs are aligned. A somewhat crazy aspect of the current situation is that we have very little confirmed public information about why frontier AIs end up being apparently behaviorally aligned." The quote, attribution, and source are confirmed. Vote "against" (AI alignment is solvable) is correct - Greenblatt highlights that we don't understand how alignment works, implying it's not yet truly solved. Year 2026 is correct. Source URL could not be directly fetched due to X blocking.
