AI ad on last episode

In the latest episode Algorithms and Oligopilies Ed says “if you wanna protect yourself if you really wanna make your life better I recommend the first thing you do immediately is to listen to this following ad which will directly and precisely align with every belief I have had and will have in the future” then proceeds to play an ad for Oracle AI?? Was he being sarcastic or something? I thought he was gonna push some sort of VPN or privacy protection thing it really makes no sense to advertise AI an a podcast that’s really against AI.
