I know hearing this gets old, however, please review sources outside of LLMs for accuracy. LLMs take a whole bunch off stuff from all over the internet and distill it down to something you can consume. Those sources include everything from reddit to a certain de-wormer that folks still think treats COVID (side note: I've a few long COVID victims in a support group I am in, and they are not happy about the disinfo that was spread, at any rate)...LLMs/"AI" does not and cannot innovate, it can only take all existing information it knows, mash it all together, and present you with a result according to what the model is trained on.

I'm not against AI summaries being on HN, however, users should verify and cite sources so others can verify.

However, I'm just a normal nerd that wants to fact check stuff. Perhaps I'm wrong in wanting to do this. We'll see.

> Could it be that this organism switches to anaerobic respiration when it finds itself inside cancer tissue

Unlikely. The leading hypothesis is that mitochondria are a part of the apoptosis cycle, so cells need to disable them to become cancerous. This is called the Warburg effect.

There are several drugs that target this mechanism, inhibiting the anaerobic metabolism. They are effective initially, but cancers always find ways to work around them.
