This post is still getting linked from other places, so I think it's helpful to point out that it's almost certainly fake. (Hence its [flagged] status)

The images shown do appear to be adversarially generated inputs against some NN-based image hash or classifier, but there is no evidence to suggest that this is at all related to Apple's NeuralHash, or that the colliding hashes are from a real CSAM database (the target hashes are not public).

OP claimed they would "release 5 pieces of proof in the next 5 days" [1], and guess what, 11 days later they still haven't.

Look at OP's post and comment history, it's quite clear that they are a troll.

In the mean time, it has been actually proven that hash collisions against NeuralHash are trivially possible, see [2]
