But the uncomfortable truth is, we aren’t positioned to win this arms race and neither is OpenAI . While we’ve been squabbling, a third faction has been quietly eating our lunch. Jemma is a sixteen-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, unable to speak or move without assistance. Her world is mainly her home—her mom, an aide, and the aide’s ever-present boyfriend, Dan. Outwardly, Dan is charming and kind, but secretly, he’s a bully: the kind of person who whispers horrible things to Jemma, like the above … and the fact that he’s a murderer. Ich bewundere die Autorin so sehr dafür, dass sie Menschen eine Stimme gibt, die normalerweise in der Menge untergehen. Sie schenkt mit diesem Buch nicht nur Hoffnung, sie gibt auch Menschen die Möglichkeit, die ebenfalls unter diesen Krankheiten leiden, sich mit diesen Figuren zu identifizieren. This book was recommended to me by one of my bookish friends Megan, so thanks so much for the reading rec because I was most definitely not disappointed with this standalone thriller! I Have No Secrets follows fourteen year old Jemma who has cerebral palsy and cannot communicate. We as a reader can hear what she is thinking but no words are spoken by her out loud. Down the road she lives on, a local guy has been murdered but the case remains unsolved. Until the murderer himself realises that Jemma is unable to tell the truth about the events. The vanishing of her friend and carer Sarah also rises alarm bells. After finding out about a new way of communication via sniffing, Jemma dreams of having her own voice and letting others know about what she has witnessed, during her encounters with the murderer.

The fly in the ointment is Sarah’s apparently affable boyfriend Dan. Jemma alone knows the truth, as Dan lets down his guard when they are alone, foolishly assuming her to be permanently devoid of communication and indeed faculty. The thing is, he’s not just unpleasant… He’s a killer. How can she tell the world before he strikes again?Jemma is extremely intelligent with an inquisitive nature, she knows everything that is going on around her and what people are saying to her, also she knows what her foster-brother and sister are up to, but she can't respond to them or tell on them.

Jemma’s perspective draws you in and feels authentic. She is smart and observant and has a strong inner voice, with family members who fiercely stand up for her and her intelligence when she is belittled or babied by others. She has cerebral palsy and it’s not a plot device - she’s a round character whose feelings you can empathize with and relate to in the context of her situation. The writing itself at times is a little boring / can feel below the level of what I’d expect for a typical YA book (more middle grade language than the writing style of most YA books) but it didn’t bother me much - just wished it were a little more refined given we know Jemma is very bright. I was first afraid to read this story because of its emotional impact on me, but it actually turned out to be a quite satisfying read justifying read for me.I’ve been this way all my life. I can see, though, and I can hear, and sometimes people forget that; they don’t realise that I have a functioning brain. Sometimes people talk about me as if I’m not even there. I hate that.” I enjoyed the idea the author had here, I think it’s so interesting and different from other thrillers. While I loved the characters, the story was a bit underwhelming. I think I went into it with a different mindset. I was expecting more of a thriller, and while it was it also felt like a contemporary at times - which wasn’t bad, just not my cup of tea. I loved reading about Jemma’s thoughts as the readers were able to understand what was going on through her POV. In meinen Augen ist an diesem Buch nichts negativ zu finden. Der ein oder andere mag es aufgrund des sehr ruhigen Erzählstils vielleicht als ein wenig langweilig betrachten, doch wenn man das Buch mal genauer in seiner Gesamtheit betrachtet, ist es fast unmöglich, es nicht zu lieben.

In February, a large language model created by Meta leaked out into the open, jump-starting progress on generative AI in open-source forums. The model, known as LLaMA, is smaller than the models that Google and OpenAI have been touting, making it easier to work with; researchers currently have to apply to Meta to access LLaMA.

So she has cerebral palsy - she cannot communicate but has an active and intelligent brain, misses nothing going on around her and is also somewhat of a deep thinker. Living in a family of fostered children, all with their own issues, one day somebody tells her a secret. A murderer. Thinking it safe to toy with Jemma, to scare her, they don't realise that she may soon be able to tell.. Jemma, confined to a wheelchair and unable to speak due to Cerebral Palsy, is used to listening. People tell her everything, even dark secrets, because they know she'll never know. Her carer's boyfriend even tells her he murdered someone. When he finds out she may be able to communicate through a new technology, she may not be safe. It's a YA book and I think because of its genre it didn't go to its full potential. And what I mean by that is, that this book could have gone deeper. I wanted SO much more from the development of Jemma and Jodi's newfound sisterhood, all the way to the new computer system that knows allows Jemma (who suffers from Cerebal-Palsy), to speak. at org.eclipse.jetty.servlet.ServletContextHandler.callContextDestroyed(ServletContextHandler.java:545) These contributions were pivotal in the image generation space, setting Stable Diffusion on a different path from Dall-E. Having an open model led to product integrations , marketplaces , user interfaces , and innovations that didn’t happen for Dall-E.

Everyone loves sharing their thoughts and secrets with Jemma. This includes her foster sister, her mother, and Dan. Some are little secrets but others are big secrets such as Olivia stealing her foster mother's money from her purse, Finn's hide holes, and Dan's admitting to killing Kyle. During all of these secrets, Sarah goes missing. We’ve done a lot of looking over our shoulders at OpenAI. Who will cross the next milestone? What will the next move be?
