Engineering Geopolitical Personas: Beyond Caricatures

Logosofia no Dia a Dia · Apr 9, 2026 · 29m

What does it take to make an LLM convincingly play a geopolitical leader like Putin or Khamenei? This episode explores the full technical stack for building personas with strategic fidelity, moving beyond caricature to capture decision-making logic. We break down the layers: system prompting with doctrine, few-shot examples for voice, RAG for historical memory, and fine-tuning for character. The discussion also tackles the hard problem of evaluation when ground truth is scarce and touches on the ethical implications of simulating real-world actors.
