PRINCETON – A variant of religious fervor, one that trades in GPUs rather than gospel, is sweeping through Silicon Valley. The dizzying valuations of AI startups that may never be profitable,and massive capital investment,have fueled debate on whether this euphoria constitutes a bubble. Skeptics see financial mania, whereas AI evangelists herald the birth of a digital deity.
