USSR was technophilic and invented space travel.
DPRK is technophilic.
PRC is technophilic and is the world leader in many advanced technologies.
Marx analyses technological progress deeply. The increase in productive power that results from the creation and rollout of new technologies (including AI) is what raises material standards of living.
Tech is cool in a vacuum and occasionally when it actually does improve lives (like medical research, on average).
Tech is cool more often in socialist countries because the gains are more often socialized.
Tech often sucks under capitalism, as (1) when it helps producticity, this usually just helps the rich capitalists and (2) the tech "innovations" are often vampires on life and production, just making money by decreasing wages and employment across an industry.
Finally, a lot of the latter is built on absurd and financialized infinite growth economies and, fundamentally, maintaining the imperial world order, which is why they are ao often bullshit that doesn't really help anyone, or actively harms people. It's just a grift on a grift on a grift, making residuals off of residuals of forcing hyperexploitation on people in South Asia and Africa.
