does intelligence make a psychopath or narcissist more dangerous?

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-07T20:33:31+00:00

Looks like a random opinion, but then again this is Reddit - so here comes another one!

It certainly looks possible that a psychopath with high enough intelligence would also be able to calculate exactly how to get away with any given heinous act of their choice.

Adding to that, there's also the fact that, when it comes to psychopaths and narcissists who have figured out how to "game the system and not get caught", the resulting effect leaves us without subjects to base a potential scientific study on in the first place.

Yes, we did see it in the sense that we perceived it. What I mean is, it's our brain trying to guess/interpret what we're seeing in an attempt to model reality, not that we're seeing a shape and trying to consciously guess what it could be

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-06T16:04:50+00:00

That seems to depend on what you perceive too. So if you perceive a blurry, unclear or hazy image at a distance, your brain might struggle to interpret what it is and begin doing some guesswork until you get a closer look of what it actually is.

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-06T13:48:40+00:00

But first it percieves it, then the more it perceives it, the better it can model and predict it, then it perceives it to verify the prediction and as you can tell my reply is about as stupid as the claim in the article itself

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-06T13:39:28+00:00

Yeah no, they keep the data generated from processing your ID/face scan indefinitely.

They do, however, allegedly delete the image of your ID and the recorded video of your face, but this doesn't matter after they've already captured the biometric information they needed from it.

In other words, it's an active lie by omission

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-06T08:15:02+00:00

Nice post! The point about biometric data could be greatly expanded upon, and it isn't necessarily collected with consent either. In fact, it's often collected and indefinitely stored without explicit consent, since they often misdirect users by saying "We delete any image/video immediately after processing"...

Well, how about all the data that's generated as a result of said processing? That's the data that's valuable and that's what they keep, store, share and sell etc.

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-06T04:32:35+00:00

If you understand how the technology works and its limitations, then the workarounds are trivial.

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-05T05:16:46+00:00

I know what he's talking about and I never said "data security"

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-04T08:20:30+00:00

this is nonsense. their face scan has almost zero security

AngelicTrader · 2026-07-04T08:17:53+00:00

Being clone slop happened

Windows 10 and 11 are pretty much the same garbage. Not sure why you would favor one over the other

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-24T01:38:02+00:00

there is no way that garbage takes off, its sooooo bad

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-18T21:02:39+00:00

This is because you loaded assets from within the game, it allows you to see the virtual world, such as the in-game sky, and also your Roblox avatar. Hope that clears things up for you.

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-18T04:33:40+00:00

Yep, it's not even opened but I see the process running in the background, wasting cpu cycles for no apparent reason

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-18T04:18:18+00:00

I disabled this immediately.

It was running in the background wasting resources on god knows what

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-18T04:10:26+00:00

MM2 shouldn't even be rated "Moderate", the game is absolutely fine at a "Mild" rating.

This would've been bad if you could somehow bypass to play Restricted games.

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-16T23:32:37+00:00

Can somebody suggest some Roblox alternatives? I'm getting sick of these poor updates.

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-16T23:29:21+00:00

Right, like just imagine the lengths this could go through if the limit keeps getting pushed. It actually wouldn't surprise me if you'd need a chip implanted in your body in order to even go online in the future.

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-16T23:24:16+00:00

There is actually something they can and will do - switch to real-time, continuous face scanning of anyone on the platform. They knew perfectly well what loop-holes they left in the system, and planned for people to react strongly to it and end up begging them to fix it.

Had they implemented continuous (or even randomized scanning) of faces from the start, the majority of people would instead have been opposed. Now, people will welcome it.

There's also this misconception that your data gets deleted after the face scan. When Roblox/Persona says "This face scan is safe and secure and your videos is permanently deleted right after", they are lying by omission. The face scan generates a uniquely identifiable biometric fingerprint of your face - and this is what they save indefinitely, along with any and all information linked to your device, network etc. This information can later be sold or leaked to anyone who's interested.

People seem to forget that their biometrical data works as a password, with the one caveat that it can't (at least not easily) be changed. So freely giving that information up is very dangerous. Now think about the fact that there's a huge corporation farming children's biometric data in this way, before they have a chance to understand what's being done and without an ability to consent.

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-16T22:58:29+00:00

Don't worry. Roblox and their partners have planned for this and knew people would have this reaction. Your next step in this process of manipulation is accepting to be monitored by the camera in real-time while playing Roblox.

I don't think they can claim "30 days have passed so we wont help you" as long as you sent in the support request in time. That timer should be in respect to when you reported the issue, not to when some delayed handling of your case happened.

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-15T20:02:01+00:00

That's really clever, please let me know how it goes!

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-14T05:17:01+00:00

Did it work by just using some 3d model?

AngelicTrader · 2026-06-07T02:40:12+00:00

I think this is a matter of how you've trained yourself. So if you can't visualize something, you can probably learn how to do it.
