We are longtermists, I think.

Superdeterminism is a twisted workaround to save the belief of determinism. But in this case I really don't know what's the point, local determinism has been disproven, so the classic causality has been failed ... What else we want to save?
The ability of nature to fetch random information from nothing is quite handy, if you like to explain how this reality has popped into the existence.

In this case you just ignore the biggest flaw of hardcore determinism. It just not even cannot answer the question of the root cause of the universe, but in this view there cannot be any root cause ... it will lead into endless causality, what is paradox because of multiple reasons.

And what does a hardcore determinist think about the cause of the existence of the universe?

There is alternatives beyond determinism and dualism, it's idealism. The basic stament of this philosophy: All things is a projection of an idea. Idea is abstract information.
My belief: the world around us is rendered by a cosmic consciousness, what will be born from the technological singularity created by us, or somebody else.
