Neuralink plus on-demand code models could collapse skill learning to an afternoon

A speculative argument: humans learn slowly not because knowledge is hard — it's all written down — but because the brain is a narrow pipe. Ten thousand hours of piano, fifteen years to become a surgeon: all bandwidth constraints. Widen the pipe with a Neuralink-style interface and pair it with a model that writes code on demand, and learning time collapses. Beyond that, models could invent skills on the fly for problems that appeared an hour ago — abilities no human ever lived long enough to develop first. Pure thought experiment, no data, but a representative take on brain-computer interface × AI convergence.
