Some people, like Christof Koch, think that a simulation cannot become conscious. The irony is that only simulations can be conscious. Consciousness is a simulated property of a simulated system.

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.

See? I was afraid you'd say something like that. :) David Chalmers has quite a few significant insights, but his core project (explaining phenomenal experience) was a failure. Yet he sees that he must explain why people report about consciousness rather than consciousness itself.

I agree it was a failure!
I didn’t say he found the right answers, just that he at least asked the right questions.
