Very interesting. I was surprised to get a relatively decent 40-60 FPS screwing around on the demo for a few minutes on my Pixel 9 in Fennec F-Droid. I am even more surprised that it performed better than an iPhone in any conditions, but who knows what exactly is playing into that.
Regarding AI coding assistance... Yeah, I imagine it would be great for someone who wants to start hundreds of small projects, because it's pretty cool what you can do in a few minutes, but it really doesn't take many days before you're much better off doing most things yourself. I guess this state of affairs is relatively good for our job security, but a real bummer from the "I want to harness the power of hundreds of digital junior devs to do my bidding" perspective. Still something I'd consider solidly useful and not just a load of hype though.
BTW, it seems a bit senseless to draw frames when there is no interaction since the geometry is static. Maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to stop drawing when there are no active interactions.
