Sheena and Sevetri are back with this week's Rich Takes — and this week it's a full-on face-off. AI is eliminating jobs by the thousands while storytellers and communicators are quietly pulling six and seven-figure salaries. We're breaking it all down.

Tech companies are cutting thousands while quietly posting some of the highest-paying content and communications roles we've ever seen. We break down the AI layoff wave hitting Cisco, Meta, Amazon, and GM — and then flip the script on who's actually winning right now (hint: storytellers and communicators are eating good, with salaries up to $1.2M at Netflix and $400K at Anthropic).

We also get into the $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund proposed by the Trump administration for January 6th participants — funded by your tax dollars — and why the reparations double standard has people rightfully fired up.

Plus: Keith Lee's Family Day brought 20,000 people to New Orleans, but is the festival moving to Chicago the right call? We weigh in. And of course, we close out with the NBA Conference Finals — Knicks vs. Cavs, Thunder vs. Spurs — and the LeBron retirement saga that never ends.

This week's topics:

• AI layoff wave: 103,000+ tech jobs gone in 2026 alone
• The $400K–$1.2M content and communications roles open RIGHT NOW
• The $1.8B Jan. 6 fund and the reparations double standard
• Keith Lee's FamiLeeDay recap
• NBA Conference Finals predictions & LeBron's next move
