I don’t think the quote from Ryan constitutes a statement on his part that current LLMs are basically aligned. He’s quoting a hypothetical speaker to illustrate a different point. It’s plausible to me that you can find a quote from him that is more directly in the reference class of Nina’s quote, but as-is the inclusion of Ryan feels a little unfair.

I clarify my current perspective here.
