They did not save any lives, that is a completely made up invention. In fact Imperial Japan cared little about the atomic bomb, and even if a land invasion had become necessary, the USA had made a deal with the USSR to invade on land.
This was the real reason for the bombings, not to beat Japan into submission, which Roosevelt's deal with the USSR for a land invasion ensured, but to show the USSR the destructive power the US held. Truman was a staunch anticommunist, and refused to let the USSR play the part Roosevelt negociated in a land invasion.
It was a war crime with no benefits at all except to show off to the USSR, who would develop nukes themselves 4 years later anyway. An absolute tragedy which proved to be entirely useless.

I'm zealously against rape, zealously against slavery, why should people not be zealously against what they consider industrial mass murder of innocent lives? Zealousness isn't bad in and of itself
I'm not sure this is such good news. What happens if they do fail? Won't they most likely be gobbled up by some existing tech giant? I'm not sure we want an even more powerful Microsoft. Or would gpt4 become public domain?
The vast, vast majority of Israel does support nethanyahu. Most of the headlines about some ministers speaking out, or some sort of unpopularity, is about him not being genocidal enough. Israel is an ideological construct. It is the thing that gets compared to Hamas, because israel needs genocide to exist. There won't be a Palestine if there is an israel
Through not choosing, agnostics are atheists. Agnosticism is just a subcategory of atheism, and since it derives from the binary of knowing or not knowing, the only other alternative is gnostic atheism.
Which itself is pretty irrelevant since it implies knowledge of the nonexistence of divinity, which implies it's possible to empirically disprove divinity, and since it's not possible to actually prove a negative, gnostic atheism is impossible. Therefore all atheists are agnostic (and all agnostics are atheists).
Whether you identify as atheist or agnostic is irrelevant then, since both are shorthands for "agnostic atheist"
