## Resource

In his first CNBC appearance in nearly two years, billionaire John Paulson, alongside NovaGold Chairman Thomas Kaplan, reveals why he’s staying focused on gold. Capex the main focus of Alphabet’s Q2 earnings, and one analyst expects it to top $300B in 2027. Plus, “I can’t believe we’re living in this right now. It’s insane,” says a former Marine Corps hacker about OpenAI’s Hugging Face breach.
