I don't know if you intended to elude to (left) accelerationism so I am going to leave that there as a reference and extract some tidbits:

"Left-accelerationism" attempts to press "the process of technological evolution" beyond the constrictive horizon of capitalism, for example by repurposing modern technology for socially beneficial and emancipatory ends

At least from my understanding it has less to do with "increasing the rate of exploitation until we reach a tipping point" and more about creating something so efficient and straightforward that participating in capitalist relationships (private property, dispossessed wage labour, etc) is the worst option available to people.

As supported here:

Jones and Williams were clear what this does not mean: i.e. exacerbating capitalism in the hopes of bringing out its contradictions to somehow spontaneously generate socialism. Rather, we are asked to harness capitalism’s contradictions, preparing to strategically seize already inevitable crises.

Some additional reference could be Towards Liberatory Technology by Murray Bookchin and Solarpunk Anarchist's Social Anarchist Futures.
