We have a report on conscious subsystems coming out I believe next week, which considers the possibility of non-reportable valenced conscious states.
Also (speaking only about my own impressions), I’d say that while some people who talk about neuron counts might be thinking of hidden qualia (eg Brian Tomasik), it’s not clear to me that that is the assumption of most. I don’t think the hidden qualia assumption, for example, is an explicit assumption of Budolfson and Spears or of MacAskill’s discussion in his book (though of course I can’t speak to what they believe privately).

Thinking that much about anthropics will be common within the movement, at least.
