What can we learn from one of the most complex AI projects in any museum today?  What is the history of AI in museums? Can we add AI to our experiences without a complete renovation? How do you teach an AI about 775 different football teams? How can AI put visitors literally into a story? Is AI accurate enough for a museum? What about bias? Doesn't AI take away jobs? And how do you specify exactly what shade of college football orange you want to an AI — if you can only use words? Kimberly Beaudin (CEO, College Football Hall of Fame) and Geoff Thatcher (Founder & Chief Creative Officer, Creative Principals) discuss “A Museum Transformed with AI” with host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners | The Exhibition and Experience Design Studio). Along the way: Hypercinema, Salvador Dalí, and net promoter scores. Talking Points: 1. A College Football Museum Transformed with AI2. History of AI in Museums3. Adding, Not Redesigning4. Putting Visitors in the Story: Cheerleader, Coach, Player5.

Book teaser: The inside story of the most expensive and controversial military program in history, as told by those who lived it.The F-35 has changed allied combat warfare. But by the time it's completed, it will cost more than the Manhattan Project and the B-2 Stealth Bomber.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Episode (09/25/2023): 3:05pm- A new Washington Post/ABC News survey indicates that presumptive Republican nominee for president Donald Trump has a 9-point lead over President Joe Biden—51% to 42%. Interestingly, Trump holds a 20-point lead over Biden with voters under the age of 35 in the hypothetical rematch. 3:25pm- Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee Robert Menendez (D-NJ) has been charged with accepting hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes in exchange for providing Egypt with “sensitive U.S. government information.” During a Friday press conference announcing a three-count indictment, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams explained that federal prosecutors found $500,000 in cash, as well as gold bars, in Sen. Menendez' home—some of which contained fingerprints or DNA of Fred Daibes, a real estate developer also accused of bribing Menendez and his wife Nadine. According to The New York Times, Daibes pled guilty to financial crimes in 2022. Senator Menendez and his wife have both denied the criminal conduct alleged by prosecutors.

Menendez insisted he was innocent and explained that he held nearly half-a-million in cash at his home for “emergencies.” 3:35pm- In an article for NJ.com, Tom Moran writes: “Look past the bars of gold, the envelopes stuffed with cash, and the shiny new Mercedes parked in the garage of Sen. Robert Menendez. Bad as that stench is, it's far from the worst of it. For that, you need to cast an eye to the torture chambers run by Egypt's military dictatorship, where security goons rape women to pressure their husbands in the next cell, where they clamp metal grips to men's genitals and shock them into submission, where they hang teens by their arms, tied behind their back, and leave them until their shoulders dislocate. That's the dictatorship that Menendez has been helping since 2018, according to the federal indictment dropped Friday.” You can read the full article here: https://www.nj.com/opinion/2023/09/gold-bars-for-menendez-torture-for-jailed-egyptians-moran.html 3:45pm- Congressman Andy Kim (D-NJ)—who represents New Jersey's 3rd District—has announced that he will challenge Sen.

You can read more here: https://www.cnn.com/2023/09/23/politics/menendez-andy-kim-senate/index.html 4:05pm- On Monday, Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. held a press conference at the southern border to address the flood of migrants unlawfully entering the United States. Kennedy stated: “As President, I will make the border impenetrable to illegal migrants, but we can't afford to wait a year and a half for that to happen. That is why I am calling on Democratic and Republican leaders to unify on this issue. I'm asking Democrats in particular to reexamine their assumption that a loose border is somehow more compassionate. It is not. It has created a humanitarian crisis for the migrants that is now destroying our cities, crushing our social services, and harming the working poor by undercutting their wages.” You can learn more about the event here: https://www.kennedy24.com/kennedy_slams_biden_border_policy 4:15pm- New York Governor Kathy Hochul (D) announced that the National Guard will be deployed to help her state deal with the surge in undocumented migrants. 4:20pm- On Sunday, 60 Minutes documented that the United States is financing more than just defense weapons in Ukraine—an enormous amount of tax-payer money is also being used for farming, 57,000 first responder salaries, and the subsidization of Ukrainian small businesses. 4:25pm- On Meet the Press, political analyst Steve Kornacki said there is “nothing but good news” for Donald Trump when reviewing the latest polling numbers. 4:35pm- While appearing on Face the Nation, host Margaret Brennan asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez why she bought an electric vehicle that was not “union-made”? Ocasio Cortez nonsensically explained that she bought her vehicle before the COVID-19 pandemic. 4:40pm- Reporter Jon Levine attempted to dine at some of New York's finest restaurant's while wearing shorts and a sweatshirt—dressed similarly to Senator John Fetterman (D-PA). Unsurprisingly, the restaurants did not allow Levine into the dining room, explaining that he was in violation of the dress code. Last week, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) stopped enforcement of the Senate's dress code—many believe the decision was made to appease Fetterman. 5:00pm- Jacob Sullem of Reason writes, “Last year in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Bruen, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned that state's restrictions on public possession of handguns for self-defense. A week later, the Court vacated four appeals court decisions upholding state gun control laws and remanded the cases for further consideration in light of Bruen. One of those cases, Duncan v. Bonta, involved California's ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, which a federal judge deemed unconstitutional in a decision published on Friday.” You can read Sullem's full article here: https://reason.com/2023/09/24/californias-10-round-magazine-limit-is-unconstitutional-a-federal-judge-rules-again/ 5:20pm- Governor Gavin Newsom (D-CA) vetoed California Bill AB957 which would have required state judges to guarantee parents are open to “gender affirmation” care for their children when deciding custody battles.

The poll, which consisted of likely voters, showed Biden losing to Donald Trump in a hypothetical matchup—50% to 49%. The U.S. military has established a hotline to help recover a missing Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II valued at $90 million.

Minute One Hundred Twenty Four: From Director Nick Fury in Motion to the F-35 Lightning II in MotionLester Clark and Kynan Dias from The Exorcist Minute join us in this episode!In the one-hundred-twenty-fourth minute of The Avengers...Hill's comments on the F-35 Lightning II that's been put into action by the World Security Council sends Fury scrambling to stop it in the only way he knows how. A bazooka. Uh, is this Fury's weapon of choice? Is there bazooka storage in the elevator? We decide that Fury's such a fan of bazookas and blowing things up with them on the helicarrier that there's likely bazooka storage all over the place.But Fury does take out one of his own aircraft. Presumably, he wouldn't have cared if it blew up entirely or fell off the side of the helicarrier, killing the pilot, because the nuke wasn't launched. So then why does he hesitate when he pulls his sidearm to take aim at the second F-35? Shouldn't he just unload his clip? It's a bit of a trope that doesn't play well here for his character.The fact that the World Security Council did decide to launch two F-35s to take on NYC does pique our curiosity. Why is this the route they choose? We do get to sort out a bit as to who's got earbuds for communication here. We also talk a bit about Tony's HUD and how it's being portrayed through the film and the shift we'll start noticing here as we move forward toward the end.

Tom Burbage: F-35 Tom Burbage retired from the Lockheed Martin Corporation in 2013. He was the President of the Lockheed Martin Aeronautical Systems Company and the Executive VP/GM for both the USAF F-22 Raptor and the multi-service, allied next generation fighter, the F-35. Prior to joining Lockheed, Tom was a Naval Aviator, completing the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School in 1975. He has accumulated more than 3,000 hours in 38 different types of military aircraft. As a reservist he retired as a Navy Captain in 1994. Tom has received numerous industry awards, including the U.S. Naval Academy/Harvard Business Review Award for Ethical Leadership; the Aerospace Industry Personality of the Year; the Society of Automotive Engineers Leadership in Aerospace Award; and many others. He is also a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society in the United Kingdom. He is co-author along with Betsy Clark and Adrian Pitman of the book F-35: The Inside Story of the Lightning II. Sometimes we find ourselves leading a very large team that isn't used to working together. That happened to Tom Burbage who was the general manager of the F-35 fighter jet. In this conversation, we explore how to bring together many stakeholders in order to do something bigger than any one of them could do alone. Key Points Solicit and listen to feedback on what didn't work in past situations. Establish behavior norms and expectations and continue coming back to them. When disagreements happen, resolve them in the context of these norms. Consider including customers in major meetings, so struggles are shared transparently with all stakeholders. Behavior norms and expectations were established globally and referenced in most formal interactions. When flare ups happened, they were often settled quickly in the spirit of the norms. A “one team” concept was used to unify people from formerly competing organizations to align them to the nobler motive.
