An early model of the USS Enterprise used on the original Star Trek TV series has seemingly appeared in a now-removed eBay listing almost 50 years after it went missing.

OpenAI says it’s collecting feedback to improve the experience amid the rise of new tools like Glaze and Nightshade, which are designed to disrupt AI image generators.
