Marketing and writing services.

Do Your Partners Need Bredemarket’s Services?

I didn’t think of this marketing tactic myself. It was dumped in my lap.

One of Bredemarket’s clients has a partner marketing program, and the person running the program asked me if Bredemarket offered white paper writing services.

Why? 

Not specifically for the client, but because the client’s PARTNERS may need these services.

So I told my client that if a partner requires white paper or other services from Bredemarket in the future, there are multiple options:

  • Work with me on an hourly basis at the $100/hour rate.
  • For text between 400 and 600 words (short writing service), I can bill a flat rate of $500.
  • For text between 2800 and 3200 words (medium writing service), I can bill a flat rate of $2000.
  • We can work out a flat rate for different lengths if needed. 

(Yes, I publish my prices. If you need a 2¢ per word writer, look elsewhere.)

Here are the details on my “short writing service” and “medium writing service.”

If you, or your partner, need white paper services, contact me via my “CPA” (content-proposal-analysis) page.

Deepfake App Secret Purposes and Age Non-verification

It’s nearly impossible to battle a tidal wave.

CBS News recently reported on the attempts of Meta and others to remove advertisements for “nudify” apps from their platforms. The intent of these apps is to take pictures of existing people—for example, “Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway”—and creating deepfake nudes based on the source material.

Two versions of “what does this app do”

But the apps may present their purposes differently when applying for Apple App Store and Google Play Store approval.

“The problem with apps is that they have this dual-use front where they present on the app store as a fun way to face swap, but then they are marketing on Meta as their primary purpose being nudification. So when these apps come up for review on the Apple or Google store, they don’t necessarily have the wherewithal to ban them.”

How old are you? If you say so

And there’s another problem. While the apps are marketed to adult men, their users extend beyond that.

“CBS News’ 60 Minutes reported on the lack of age verification on one of the most popular sites using artificial intelligence to generate fake nude photos of real people. 

“Despite visitors being told that they must be 18 or older to use the site…60 Minutes was able to immediately gain access to uploading photos once the user clicked “accept” on the age warning prompt, with no other age verification necessary.”

We’ve seen this so-called “age verification” before.

From another age-regulated industry.

But if whack-a-mole fighting against deepfake generators won’t work, what will?

I don’t have the answer. Even common sense won’t help here.

I Predict Thrifty Ice Cream Will Survive

(CC BY-SA 4.0)

Don’t worry about unintended consequences of Rite Aid’s troubles.

The bankruptcy court will sell, and someone will buy, the Thrifty ice cream brand and continue to produce it. It’s a popular brand and therefore a valuable asset, and the creditors will want to get money for it.

After all, someone bought Twinkies. Multiple times.

Maybe Rite Aid just needs content-proposal-analysis marketing and writing services. Then again, Bredemarket does B2B/B2G identity/biometrics and technology, not B2C ice cream and cough syrup.

Fictional “The Amazing Computer” TV Show From 1975

Imagen 4 tried to generate this picture, but even with my second prompt attempt (below) it didn’t understand what an FBI tenprint card was.

I couldn’t get Walter Cronkite in there either, so I settled for a generic newsman.

My prompt:

Please generate a realistic picture of a 1975 television show called The Amazing Computer. The picture shows an FBI fingerprint card with ten rolled inked prints and four slap prints sitting on a gargantuan flatbed scanner. A newsman is talking about the technology.

For the real (not fictional) story, read what Dorothy Bullard wrote.

Veo 3 and Deepfakes

(Not a video, but a still image from Imagen 4)

My Google Gemini account does not include access to Google’s new video generation tool Veo 3. But I’m learning about its capabilities from sources such as TIME magazine.

Which claims to be worried.

“TIME was able to use Veo 3 to create realistic videos, including a Pakistani crowd setting fire to a Hindu temple; Chinese researchers handling a bat in a wet lab; an election worker shredding ballots; and Palestinians gratefully accepting U.S. aid in Gaza. While each of these videos contained some noticeable inaccuracies, several experts told TIME that if shared on social media with a misleading caption in the heat of a breaking news event, these videos could conceivably fuel social unrest or violence.”

However, TIME notes that the ability to create fake videos has existed for years. So why worry now?

“Veo 3 videos can include dialogue, soundtracks and sound effects. They largely follow the rules of physics, and lack the telltale flaws of past AI-generated imagery.”

Some of this could be sensationalism. After all, simple text can communicate misinformation.

And you can use common sense to detect deepfakes…sometimes.

Mom’s spaghetti 

Then again, some of the Veo 3 deepfakes look pretty good. Take this example of Will Smith slapping down some pasta at Eminem’s restaurant. The first part of the short was generated with old technology, the last part with Veo 3.

Now I am certain that Google will attempt to put guardrails on Veo 3, as it has attempted to do with other products.

But what will happen if a guardrail-lacking Grok video generator is released?

Or if someone creates a non-SaaS video generator that a user can run on their own with all guardrails disabled?

Increase the impact of your deepfake detection technology

In that case, deepfake detection technology will become even more critical.

Does your firm offer deepfake detection technology?

Do you want your prospects to know how your technology benefits them?

Expanding My Generative AI Picture Prompts

I’m experimenting with more detailed prompts for generative AI.

If you haven’t noticed, I use a ton of AI-generated images in Bredemarket blog posts and social media posts. They primarily feature wildebeests, wombats, and iguanas, although sometimes they feature other things.

My prompts for these images are usually fairly short, no more than two sentences.

But when I saw some examples of prompts written by Danie Wylie—yes, the same Danie Wylie who wrote the Facebook post earlier this year at the https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid0nvmhyuLpn3jwMv8K8sbK5EXfS4kcpjfWHicgj4BJhdFLMme87P5fvPSYf9CwjRH7l&id=100001380243595&mibextid=wwXIfr URL—then I realized that I could include a lot more detail in my own image prompts.

If you read Wylie’s Facebook post, or my own subsequent post at the https://bredemarket.com/2025/06/03/when-hivellm-pitches-an-anti-fraud-professional/ URL, then you know exactly what the picture depicts. 

Plus some other stuff buried in the details.

By the way, here is my prompt, which Google Gemini (Imagen 4) stored as “Eerie Scene: Sara’s Fake Bills.”

“Draw a realistic picture of a ghost-like woman wearing a t-shirt with the name “Sara.” She is holding out a large stack of dollar bills that is obviously fake because the picture on the bill is a picture of a clown with orange face makeup wearing a blue suit and a red tie. Next to Sara is a dead tree with a beehive hanging from it. Bees buzz around the beehive. A laptop with the word “HiveLLM” on the screen sits on the rocky ground beneath the tree. It is night time, and the full moon casts an eerie glow over the landscape.”

I didn’t get exactly what I wanted—the bills are two-faced—but close enough. And the accident of two-faced bills is a GOOD thing.

How detailed are your picture prompts?

Eerie.

TPRM: When the Board Gets Involved

As promised, I am going to continue to write about third-party risk management (TPRM).

And as the abstract for a September 9 Gartner roundtable points out, TPRM isn’t just the concern of the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) any more…

“Third-party networks are expanding, with startups and business model innovators increasingly joining them. The increasing high risk in these networks is prompting boards and senior leaders to enhance and better focus their oversight of TPRM programs.”

Yes…the Board. (Of Directors.)

Now the CISO is sweating bullets.
