This is very true, the number of pictures out there is actually very large though. Mid 2014, we humans were posting 1.8 BILLION pictures a day on Internet. I guess it's doubled since then. Most of the data is now created automatically by Internet of Things connected objects (your Fitbit, etc) and I guess the same trend will apply to photography. Makes sense to have automated processes / tools to help us make sense of all this nonsense. The tricky part is, as always with tech, how will they protect our privacy and make sure our personal data extracted from pics are not being sold to insurance companies or other nice entities :)

There is always a discrepancy between stats and the actual truth. Chances were VERY slim for us to be born, and yet, here we are. Just because there is one earth doesn't "take the unique spot in the Universe". The chances that another Earth exists remain the same once you know there is one already... I am having trouble understanding how he came to that conclusion. A little bit more detail on the basis of the study would be helpful.

Submission + - Damage report: LA methane leak is one of the worst disasters in US history (inhabitat.com)

MikeChino writes: A week after the ruptured natural gas well in Aliso Canyon was finally declared sealed, we have a full account of the damage — and it doesn’t look good. In total, 97,100 metric tons of methane were released into the atmosphere over the course of 112 days — the equivalent greenhouse gas emissions of over half a million cars.
