Imagine "roko's basilisk", but extended into an entire philosophy. It's the idea that "we" need to anything and everything to create the inevitable ultimate super-ai, as fast as possible. Climate change, wars, exploitation, suffering? None of that matters compared to the benefits humanity stands to gain when the ultimate super-ai goes online

I don't think that has been the case for at least a full console generation, maybe more.

Look at the rise and fall of pre-order goodies to get a rough estimate of when publishers really, really wanted you to buy the game day 1 (and when it stopped mattering as much)

the DDG browser can setup a "fake vpn" tracking blocker for your entire phone. Last I checked certain apps were excluded by default as the tech is quite new and some apps don't work right with it. It'll then give you an overview of how many tracking attempts it blocks for each app.
