Awesome! Just by coincidence, I happened to visit that page at the exact point in time when the counter switched from 7,999,999,999 to 8,000,000,000. Epic!
Makes you wonder how many people died while I was scrolling down. Or was born. It would be more intense to look at while the newborns and dying people blink on that page.
Either women are giving birth with metronomic precision and cooperation, or the regularity is a coding simplification. It would be fun to randomize the increments to give the illusion of a God's Eye view of humanity.
If your concern is some sort of collapse because we’ve hit some mystic 8 billion im afraid the number of people on Earth won’t be the tipping point of any societal collapse
The planet can support our populations easily, but it can’t support our populations at the rate of resource extraction we are undertaking. Not for long anyways. Maybe your questioning is better served directed in there.

Still impressive rendering 2,004,000,000,000 pixels, but we see the efforts of clipping reducing that dramatically.
