"my hot take that I think everything will be built on Next in the next ten years. All the way from your personal website to GTA 7, literally, because if you want to build GTA 7, why wouldn't you just want to go to a URL hit played, login with whatever and then start playing the video again and people say oh, it's not performant. Actually, JavaScript is only twice as slow as C. So it's completely fast. 
You can always push data and computation to the GPU or to the CPU. So we're gonna live in the world in five years where everything is built with Next."

How do you push data to computation off of your browser to your device's CPU/GPU from a NextJS web app? ie. if I want my NextJS web app, something as intensive as GTA 7, to utilize the entire GPU capability of my performant Apple silicon Macbook Pro laptop.
