Alpha in software means the worst possible version of the software a group feels comfortable showing people.

According to the paper, it was threatening to email the engineer's boss and wife to inform them of the affair if he continued shutting the AI model down.
Correct, the point being, why are they priming it for blackmail? Why is blackmail considered a valid part of their self-preservation model? Why is it a part of their ethics model? It makes no sense haha. It's like handing it a loaded gun then be surprised when it shoots someone.
