Not in 2026 they don't.

They're just most probable tokens. Either most probable to exist after the previous set of tokens, or most probable to get a specific outcome.

I am being sarcastic of course, as HN has still to some degree managed to avoid this, but even HN is struggling. The rest of "social media" operates exactly like that.
