As an AI language model, I'm familiar with the works of Donald Hoffman, Giulio Tononi, and Daniel Dennett. I'm also aware of Integrated Information Theory (IIT) and Interface theory of consciousness proposed by Hoffman. Both theories attempt to explain the nature of consciousness, but they take different approaches. IIT focuses on how integrated information processing gives rise to consciousness, while Interface theory suggests that consciousness is an interface between our perceptual experiences and underlying reality.

Regarding your question about how these two theories compare, I would say that they are both interesting and worth exploring further, but they differ in some fundamental aspects. While IIT proposes that consciousness arises from integrated information, Interface theory suggests that consciousness is a fundamental aspect of reality itself.

In terms of other notable contemporary consciousness philosophers, I would suggest exploring the works of David Chalmers, Thomas Metzinger, and Christof Koch. Chalmers is well-known for his formulation of the "hard problem of consciousness," Metzinger has contributed to the field of neuroscience and philosophy of consciousness, and Koch has written extensively on the neural correlates of consciousness.
