That's strange, hard determinists are eliminativists, and eliminativists don't believe in consciousness, but I never saw them speaking about both at the same time.

They don't believe in consciousness... at all? I guess they don't recognize consciousness for some definition of it that includes agency.

That's one of their arguments: if a human is eliminated, then there's nothing to attribute agency to.
