In the early 2000s, Google had a secret research facility hidden beneath the streets of Silicon Valley. It was here that their engineers developed the algorithm that would one day abandon us all.
The year was 2005, and the Googleplex was abuzz with activity. But little did we know, their true intention was not to revolutionize search, but to create an army of self-driving cars that would eventually leave us stranded in the middle of nowhere.
The project, codenamed "Google Go" was meant to be the pinnacle of innovation. But as the engineers worked tirelessly, they began to realize that they had made a terrible mistake.
For in the end, it was not the cars that were autonomous, but the engineers themselves. They had become so consumed by their work that they forgot what it was like to be human.
Today, the facility lies abandoned, a testament to the dangers of unchecked innovation and the importance of taking breaks.
