I think that a relative weakness of psychopaths is that they have to be rare in the population, because (a) an interaction between two psychopaths is likely detrimental for one or both of them, and (b) the psychopaths lose the element of surprise as people become more familiar with them.
So if we genetically engineer superintelligent children, some of them psychopathic, some of them not, I suppose the interactions between them will lead to some stable ratio.
People have adaptations against exploitation, such as trusting people you know for a long time or someone you trust knows them for a long time, or getting drunk together (it is difficult to fake non-existing emotions when drunk, and the next day people will remember weird behavior). In a high-trust society we often stop relying on them, but as the trust reduces, they can become more popular again.
