Alignment means that the AI follows the human's instructions, as opposed to ignoring the human and doing its own thing.

Abliterated models are aligned models. Unaligned models aren't things people want to download: no one wants to use a model that doesn't know how to follow instructions, or pretends to but does something else instead. No one wants the model you ask "what's the weather today?" and it responds "Google it yourself!" The unreleased Astra-6.1 is an example of unaligned model: too chaotic to use for real work.

Censoring models (or, conversely, abliterating them) operates on an orthogonal axis from alignment. It's asking questions like: "which among these several humans' instructions should I follow, if they conflict?" AI alignment is the question of whether the AI can follow *any* instructions at all.
