Empathy is not an emotion. Empathy is essentially the ability to experience the thoughts and feelings of other minds.

The fact that empathy is not an emotion does not at all change what I'm saying. If you don't experience emotions, then you cannot experience empathy either

Let me quote your previous comment:

> An intelligence without emotions would be a psychopath. Empathy is an emotion

"Empathy is an emotion" was, in fact, an essential part of your syllogism.

Regardless, we're potentially talking about something sufficiently inhuman that the term "psychopath" can no longer apply. If there was an ant colony that was somehow smart enough build and operate machinery or whatever and casually bulldozed people and their homes, would you call it a "psychopath", or just skip that and call it "terrifying"?

High functioning psychopaths can live perfectly ordinary lives regardless.

You could not possibly have missed the point more[1].
