Active predatory infovores

Came across the phrasing "active predatory infovores" in the novel "there is no anti memetics division" by qntm.

I looked it up:

In 1983 the psychologist George A. Miller gave us a word for a species that lives on information: the "informavore" which turned into "infovore". A body eats food to stay alive. Miller argued a mind does the same with information.
