The capitalization is now around 190 billion USD /July 27, 2014 by Richard

Recently did Facebook's share price hit an all-time high, their market capitalization is now around 190 billion USD.

Also recently did Facebook pick PayPal’s president David Marcus to lead Messaging Products.

And with a Messenger that hit 200 million active users during Q1 2014, and users now sending 12 billion messages per day, Facebook plan to monetize it big times with Payments on Messenger.

So with an economy of a small country and a population of a large one, I guess we will soon see Face-money.

As a photographer navigating the AI era, we are confronted with numerous fresh opportunities and, at the same time, potential challenges. The question looms: can we not only survive but also harness the full potential of these new possibilities, especially with the advent of mega digital cameras in this emerging photographic age?

Certainly, AI tools have enabled enthusiastic individuals to craft a diverse array of captivating artificial images. However, the question arises: can these creators truly be called photographers? In my view, the distinction lies in the ownership of photographs and the associated intellectual property rights. This consideration has made me considerably more discerning in terms of what and how I choose to publish my images.
