I mean he effectively is above Kenyan law, there is a zero percent chance the United States is going to extradite Sam Altman to Kenya.

To be precise, he cannot visit Kenya or any other country with strong ties and extradition agreements with Kenya.

I don't know anything about US and Kenya agreements.

I think it's more of a tongue in cheek joke about the fact the US will undoubtedly refuse to extradite until legal proceedings against him in the US (and his probable prison sentence) concludes.

Did I miss something? Is Sam Altman in actual legal jeopardy? You're not confusing him with Sam Bankman-Fried?

At least he won't have to be afraid of Kenyan cruise missiles or rockets.

But it may well end up in the Hague because of the callous way that this has been done and the amount of sympathy it has gathered all over the world and that would curb Altman's ability to travel considerably.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Sam Bankman-Fried?

I think you have your parties muddled up.

While I hope the US will treat AI development with that level of tenacity, I wouldn't count on it

You're mixing him up with Sam Bankman-Fried, no?

How can you have a trial without a defendant there?

Kenya and the U.S. have had an extradition agreement since 1935 [1].

I don't know if a person that actively tries to dinner law making deserve a just justice system
