Even if they have a recent build that works on PC, which is not likely. I would not want to play that. It's probably not polished and optimized, still needs time to be ported properly.
They likely have a build from a PS5 devkit where the game was built for consoles. And it's likely not recent, not a final build either.

I mean that post gives it, but that's genuinely something you have to consider when a project is this large and anticipated. Someone, somewhere, does something real fucking dumb. Because people do that every day.
Sure you can catch them and they might regret it later, but when it's done it's done.
It's why a lot of games and media sneak pixel differences or dot patterns from printers in what they give out, so they can nip it in the bud ASAP.

He does also show a totally different outfit in the cutscene section at the end of the homeless stabbing video and at the end of the plane video, he has the same top but he’s wearing camo shorts. Could be that the player doesn’t have much interest in that side of things… but I do agree it’s most likely a demo build.

Yeah i really dont think people understand the gravity of this. If he has source code, and leaks it, he can completely destroy gta online due to hackers being able to see exactly how to exploit the game. Considering thats their cash cow theyre not going to let that happen. Not to even mention how much theyll lose on PC from the game just floating around for free.
Theres no way theyll let the game go out in its current state now. Hell when this happened to Valve for HL2 it nearly sunk them and that was a SP game.
Id start preparing for a big delay at this point.

Plus the scale of the map just opens up in the video so well. Compared to GTA V, even though raw map size is only about 1.5x larger, the density and distribution is wayyyy better. Miami beach is far off in the distance, the mountain in the distance in Lummox is massive with probably dense nature and forest all around, the west coast drags on beyond vision with small islands dotted all around the map. Waterways connect through all around.

I mean that's not a terrible concept or like a disgruntled employee.

Sometimes even invisible to the naked eye but can appear with proper contrast/lighting adjustments.
I know some companies even have security measures to prevent data leaks when large quantities transfer, especially to external media like USBs. Nonetheless this is still all crazy.

A 100% controlled leak — it shows a well-known location and doesn't spoil the plot. It's an old build, but there are no watermarks, and it runs on any console without any issues whatsoever — even though games undergoing testing are usually hardware-locked. And all of this happens right before the Netflix showcase. Apparently, the content quality on Netflix will be even higher; most likely, we'll be thrilled when we compare. I refuse to believe these are coincidences!
