I had this great idea for a compression algorithm where instead of storing all the data for an image you only store just enough binary information to uniquely identify that image from all the images stored by, say, Google

So instead of sending the whole image, you just send that tiny unique identifier I invented the URL

If you want to further improve your compression algorithm, you can take it a step further and also invent the URL shortener.

Kolmogorov complexity somewhere in the neighborhood of "64 bit guid + ALL OF GOOGLE"

Hmm, you could take all images indexed by Google and ram them through some kind of fancy neural network to reduce their dimensionality and then use that lower-dimensional space as the compressed image?
-
Then you can do lossy encoding by sorting the output vector by importance and ignoring the minor parts, which means that the first bit of the image format will be "is it a cat picture?"

yeah, i was about to say "oh, you're inventing a hash table."

Also, for a smaller set off images, the emoji.
