Continuing from the longer post below.

The device has to have its contextual observable algebra develop a non-trivial center, not just be entangled as is mentioned in section 5 of the paper I linked. It's well known entanglement alone isn't enough which again is why entanglement alone has been called "pre-measurement" since the 1980s.

Note how this involves hard mathematics, not vague talk about "obvious features of subjective experience". I'll also note that this is a general feature of discussions about this stuff among non-physicists online, especially programming communities like this one, the knowledge is stuck in the late 1970s.
