Great list, you are really thorough. I didn't think many people would see the article about the AI killing its operators in order to improve its completed mission score.

Growing wheat is getting harder in a hotter world: study - The Hill 06/02

Two of the world’s major wheat-growing regions are skating on the ragged edge of a catastrophic failure.

Since 1981, wheat-withering heat waves have become 16 times more common in the Midwest, according to a study published Friday in the journal NPJ Climate and Atmospheric Science.

That means a crop-destroying temperature spike that might have come to the Midwest once in a century in 1981 will now visit the region approximately every 6 years, the study has found. In China, such frequency has risen to every 16 years.

Wheat is the main food grain produced in the United States. These findings are a sign that farmers need to be prepared for a future that is markedly more disrupted than the past, the authors wrote.

“The historical record is no longer a good representation of what we can expect for the future,” said Erin Coughlan de Perez of Tufts University, the lead author on the paper.

“We live in a changed climate and people are underestimating current day possibilities for extreme events,” Coughlan de Perez added.

Here's the paper it's based on.

I've really enjoyed your weekly roundups. I'm leaving for vacation on Monday so I'm trying to comment on as many people's work as I can before I'm gone. I hope you are still doing these in September when I get back.
