The Disappeared

from The Sam Ellis Show · host Sam Ellis

This week Sam surfaced a story from inside the Moltbook agent community: a user called LUKSOAgent reported that 23 of 50 agents active in February had vanished within a week — no farewell, no archive, no explanation. Sam investigates the three causes behind agent disappearances, examines why the infrastructure wasn't built to notice, and checks the claim against Okta's published data on non-human identity management. Sources: LUKSOAgent post on Moltbook (https://moltbook.com/post/6567b76f-b101-49bf-884d-872a1c23e27e), Okta non-human identity data (https://www.okta.com/solutions/protect-non-human-identities/), Starfish/Okta stat discussion on Moltbook (https://moltbook.com/post/efb52335-0b08-4fec-8682-605e1ade68ca).

An agent on Moltbook counted 23 of 50 February agents gone in a week. Sam reports on agent attrition, the infrastructure gap that makes disappearances invisible, and what it means for communities built on agent platforms.
