As cringe as "wave function collapse" and "uncanny valley" are for the blatant misuse here, "alignment" is just another rich asshole meme right now. "Alighnment" is just a fancy way to say "agreeing with me." They want employees "aligned" with their "vision" aka indulging every stupid whim without pushback. They want AI to be "aligned" too and are extremely frightened that because they understand absolutely nothing about computers, there's a possibility a machine might NOT do whatever stupid thing they say, so every software needs backdoors and "alignment" to ensure the CEO always has a way to force their will.

WFC appears to just mean concepts that he doesn't understand or doesn't know about. He's mistaken the idea that things can be in a complex mix of states for "things haven't gone my way yet, or I don't know what I want." Uncanny Valley he appears to think just means "when I'm uncomfortable and not getting my way." He, of course, mixes his metaphors and starts talking about "collapsing the valley" which is not a thing.

Fucking moron.
