Tech Stocks Slip as AI Slowdown Fears Hit; Meta Proposes No-Vote Stock Split

What stands out

The clip captures a sudden shift in mood: markets worried an AI-led growth wave might be pausing even as Nvidia’s CEO argued AI creates jobs, and Goldman Sachs estimated about 9% of the workforce could be temporarily displaced during the transition. That tension landed alongside two concrete developments, Meta proposing a no-vote Class C share split for existing holders and weekly jobless claims falling to a three-month low, which together compressed sentiment around big-cap tech and sent the Nasdaq lower.
