g away, and the next thing I knew, I was asleep. And I think it happened five times this morning. Now, it's not unusual that it would happen once, but I would say my estimate is that my IQ is down 40 percent this morning. So if you always wondered what would happen if I did my show but I was stupid, well, you're going to find out. You're going to find out right now.

All right. Here's some stories that I know will delight you. You will be delighted. I always tell you there's an account on X called Massimo, M-A-S-S-I-M-O. It's got real good tech stuff, futuristic stuff. But Massimo is writing about how there's a new fusion reactor that allegedly could power the entire planet by 2030. Now, I suppose that's pretty optimistic. How long have we been talking about fusion is right around the corner? But a Munich-based startup, Proxima Fusion, have come up with some new concept that they think can change everything. So optimistic thought number one: maybe we figured out how to have cheap or free energy, and that will give us AI, and then we will enter the golden age of abundance. And all we really needed was some really good fusion reactors, and it looks like they're on the way.

Speaking of that, the Google CEO was just on another show, and he mentioned again how data centers in space might be the secret to getting enough power. If you didn't hear me talk about it the other day, the reason you would want to put a data center in space, and it wouldn't have to necessarily be in one place so it could be distributed across satellites, I guess, but the reason you want to put it in space is that you don't have to cool it because space is pretty darn cold. And what else? So the other natural advantage is that you have all the space you need. Oh, and then the other advantage is that you can place a satellite or a data center where it's always in the sun. So you don't have to worry about clouds. There wouldn't be any in space, and you wouldn't have to worry about it being on the wrong side of the planet because you just wouldn't put it there. So what is interesting is that the Google CEO seems committed to that being the future. But Elon Musk commented on the Google CEO's comment, and he just said, "Interesting."

Now, you probably have heard because I've mentioned it too that Elon Musk is saying essentially the same thing: that we're going to have to take our game to space, and we're going to have to do it pretty fast because that might be the only way we can get all the AI and all the power we need. So the fact that the CEO of Google and the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX both have this super ambitious view of the world, but it seems doable. I believe pretty much all the parts exist. You would just have to engineer them together. And who better to engineer than Google and Tesla? So it looks like that's going to happen. Data centers in space.

Senator Josh Hawley is introducing a bill to require companies to track layoffs. He specifically wants to track layoffs that are caused by AI so we'd have a better idea what's happening as it happens. But they would also track non-AI layoffs so you have a pretty good idea. Now, don't you think that there was something missing that this is even a bill? How is it that we didn't know why people are losing jobs? It feels like that could have been some kind of basic thing we should have known. But if Josh Hawley is talking to the right economi
