The Nasdaq 100 lost roughly $2.5 trillion in market value during the 5 November 2026 sell-off. AI-linked chip shares were hit hard as investors weighed data-centre expansion risks and doubts about returns on AI spending.
Next Token News explains the pressure on the AI building boom, why construction delays matter to chipmakers, and the community concerns OpenAI had already acknowledged. The headline asks a question; a sharp share-price fall alone does not establish that an AI bubble has definitively burst.
Market figures: Nasdaq 100 down 6.4% with about $2.5 trillion in market value erased; the separate Nasdaq Composite fell about 5.5%. Nvidia fell roughly 9%, AMD around 17%. These are reported 5 November closing moves, not live prices or corporate cash losses.

Jihad on AI. I want the AI bubble to pop so hard that everything inside is destroyed. I can eat cold tinned soup in the dark, can Sam Altman? There are levels of existence I’m willing to accept so long as AI dies.
Oh my, how did AI hurt you so bad?!
