Will Uber and Lyft actually leave the metro area or will the state step in to block the actions by the Minneapolis city council? How close is legal sports betting to becoming reality in Minnesota? KSTP-TV political reporter Tom Hauser joined on the latest from St. Paul.
Predictions abound for industries that allegedly will be upended by artificial intelligence, or AI. Will Uber drivers and truck drivers be replaced by AI-powered self-driving vehicles? Will writers and journalists be displaced by ChatGPT and its competitors? While many of our physical tasks have now been replaced by machines, it's possible that in the future many of our cognitive tasks will also be replaced by machines that can do a better and faster job than we can, and for a lot less money. This has relevance for many industries, but what about plant-based meat? Nearly all plant-based meat is produced through a technology called extrusion—basically a fancy way of saying a lot of pressure and a lot of heat. Extrusion technology is what transforms plant proteins like soy and pea into foods that are textured more like animal meat, and therefore can be turned into something like a Beyond or Impossible burger. But harnessing the power of extrusion can be expensive, slow, and finicky. Some refer to it as equal parts science and art, and it requires innumerable trial-and-error tests to get the texture you want. Parameters include temperature, pressure, moisture level, screw speed, feedstock ingredients, and more, meaning there are virtually infinite permutations of formulas you could test—requiring more resources than most small start-ups have. But what if AI could be used to better predict the results of extrusion tests, and could therefore help guide the experimental process, slashing the number of experiments actually needed? That's what Noa Weiss is betting, and it's why the long-time vegan founded GreenProtein AI, a new nonprofit organization spun out of Food Systems Innovations which is designed to assist for-profit companies in the alt-meat space with its AI and machine learning expertise. In addition to her career as a data science and machine learning engineer, Noa's driving goal for the past decade has revolved around working to wean humanity off its addiction to animal meat. Affiliated with both the Good Food Institute and Israel's Modern Agriculture Foundation, the AI expert is now taking her love of all things data and AI and marrying that love with her passion to help animals. In this episode, I talk with Noa about how she thinks AI can be harnessed to make better-textured alternative meat, why she started GreenProtein AI, and where she plans to go next in her promising career. We even talk about sentience, from insects to machines! Discussed in this episode GreenProtein AI was spun out of Food Systems Innovations Noa's work has been profiled in Vegconomist, AgFunder News, Green Queen and more. Noa recommends the Getting Things Done methodology. She works with the Deep Voice Foundation to use AI to protect marine mammals like whales She also adheres to the principles expressed in Deep Work. For her personal health, Noa views Dr. Michael Greger's How Not to Die as essential Paul also recommends Dr. Greger's latest book, How Not to Age, and Jonathan Balcombe's Super Fly. More about Noa Weiss Noa Weiss has been working with data for over a decade, both in academia and in the tech industry. Prior to consulting, she worked for companies such as Armis and PayPal, utilizing big data and machine learning for fraud prevention, risk mitigation, and everything cybersecurity. Today she works with both startups and more established companies, helping them use their data - and today's AI & machine learning technology - to drive success.Though she works with companies from all domains, she has a special focus on the field of Alternative Proteins and FoodTech. Noa also founded and leads the Israeli community of Women in Data Science, utilizes machine learning for whale preservation with the Deep Voice foundation, and offers her expertise with AI and data under the Good Food Institute mentoring program, as well as with the Modern Agriculture Foundation.
BEERS: This week, it's two renowned breweries with locations that couldn't be farther apart from each other - Boston, MA and San Francisco, CA. Will heads to Long Live Roxbury, one of Rhode Island's best breweries' latest project to expand further into the New England area. Will defies all odds and orders a sour, Hola Fantasma, and immediately declares it "the best sour he's ever had." A bold take, but a valid one, as early reviews are fantastic. Jake reviews a beer from his recent trip out west from Barebottle Brewing Company, a popular Bay Area selection. In addition to their steep flight pours, their brews held up their end of the bargain. Club Haus is on tap today - a light 4.3% "golf lager" was the perfect selection before a long flight home. BUSINESS: The days of catching an Uber or Lyft when you arrive in a new (and mostly obscure) city may be gone. Minneapolis is in the midst of a heated war with the two rideshare companies, as the city plans to introduce legislation that would mandate a certain rate per mile for rideshare drivers. Uber and Lyft obviously have vested interests to push back on this, as they want to keep their rising costs under control. What's to make of this feud? Will Uber and Lyft actually make good on their threats to leave the city, or will they cave? Will this spark the return of yellow cabs? BALLS: Mike Randle has made statistics a part of his life: from 25 years teaching math in the public education system, to suggesting the best "start 'em, sit 'em" picks for fantasy football players.

Understanding The Unrealized requires us as entrepreneurial businesspeople to think better, and to resist settling for what is merely feasible in a regulated, risk-mitigated world. We must ask what could be possible in a different world, and act on that basis. Sound economics supports such action. Per Bylund takes us through his thinking about The Unrealized. Key Takeaways and Actionable Insights First, see beyond what's there. From Bastiat's famous parable about the broken window comes the economist's instinct to think about 2nd, 3rd, and Nth order consequences of actions. These are typically unseen by those who don't think like economists, and never even considered by politicians. Entrepreneurs always have 2nd or 3rd alternative actions in mind if the consequences of their first choice are unexpected, and they will always adjust further if required by customer feedback, with the constant aim of producing high customer value and satisfaction. They see beyond what's there. Government regulators and legislators make promises on the basis of forecast 1st order consequences only. Regulators promise that the consequences of their actions will be beneficial, at least to some groups. For example, in minimum wage legislation, they promise a pay raise for the lowest paid workers. What is not seen are all the jobs that disappear — are never offered — as a 2nd order consequence of making minimum wage labor unaffordable to the profit seeking entrepreneurs, the ones who create jobs. Beyond the unseen is The Unrealized. In reality, regulations are not what politicians promise. They are not actions to help people. They are restrictions on entrepreneurs' economic behavior. Entrepreneurs are aiming at satisfying customer wants as much as possible. Regulations aim to restrict this customer-satisfying action by forbidding certain innovations, or declaring that they must be designed and implemented in ways that have value for the regulator and not for the customer or entrepreneur. Entrepreneurs are forced to abandon some of their efforts to generate new value by satisfying customers, or to redirect their efforts into less value-producing channels. The potential output of their creativity goes Unrealized. Society accumulates and compounds losses when entrepreneurial creativity is curtailed. What could have been the case if entrepreneurs were unbound, if the regulatory chains were cast off? We can't know. But we can know that The Unrealized is a cost to society. And the cost is cumulative. Technology and innovation thrive and grow in response to observations of how customers experience value from it. Entrepreneurs introduce a new application of technology by building on what's available today and adding to the value experience that they observe customers enjoying today. If innovation is restricted by regulation (or any other barrier), these observations can't take place. The next big thing that builds on today's big thing won't happen. We keep falling behind what is possible because of these regulatory restraints. Consumers become cumulatively worse off. Society is permanently and increasingly damaged. We are placed on a different value trajectory — one that limits our options. What if Henry Ford had been restricted from introducing assembly line manufacturing of automobiles? It's not hard to imagine such a case in the OSHA environment of today. What if the innovation cloud of new roads, better engines, gas stations with coffee and hot dogs, and all the other ancillary results of assembly line manufacturing had not been allowed to form? Such a thought experiment demonstrates how regulation places society on a different trajectory than what is possible from unlimited entrepreneurial innovation. Will Uber's technology launch us on a trajectory of ever-more-ingenious applications of on-demand service, stimulated by consumers' unlimited imagination of greater and greater convenience? Or will taxi medallion regulation permanently limit that imagination to keep it within the boundaries of bureaucratic compliance and control? Per Bylund's term for the effects of bureaucratic control is limited optionality. Quality of life is elevated when we have greater optionality. Regulators don't want us to have that experience. Less optionality means less value. Continuous reinvention can't be planned. The second and third and Nth order consequences of unrestricted entrepreneurial creativity and consumer imagination are not subject to planning. Emergent new inventions and innovations are not predictable. The probability of positive outcomes from the creative process can be enhanced by entrepreneurial intent and aspiration and effort. But on the other hand, the range of positive probabilities is greatly reduced by restrictions on that intent and aspiration. What could be is bounded by what is attempted, and regulations narrow the field in which attempts are made. Make sure you do not restrict your own creativity with self-imposed regulation-like limitations. Regulation limits innovative possibilities. What if the same is true of your own entrepreneurial practice? What if The Unrealized is concealing itself in your own business? Are you sure that your imagination about possible futures based on your understanding of customer wants is expansive enough? Are you sure that you have considered all possible approaches to satisfying those wants, even the ones that are most unlikely? Have you examined every possible pathway to a unique position in the marketplace? Have you found every possible way to cut out cost and time from your production process? Are all your processes designed and engineered to remove all barriers to successful outcomes? If you are inside a corporation, are there corporate restrictions that act like regulations, channeling your creativity into pre-ordained pathways and towards pre-selected attractors? Are there unnecessary constraints on emergence? The Unrealized lurks everywhere. The entrepreneurial task is to root it out.
