I’m one of them and I think that’s an incoherent position. Simulation is one system representing a model of another and it has zero salience to the hard problem of consciousness.

"Consciousness does not exist in relation to neurons or other physical entities. It is experienced by selfs, which happen to be fictional representations generated by brains. Consciousness is a self-experience of fictional characters." Can consciousness be quantified?

Only as matter of degrees. It is qualitative, not a quantity.
