What is the difference? I don't see it, besides one having a warranty and the other explicitly stating that it offers no guarantees or support.

Just stating you don’t have a warranty doesn’t absolve you of all ethical considerations. You can’t just publish something littered with poorly thought out booby traps and then absolve yourself with a license file! If you’re not interested in people using your code for specific purposes, maybe don’t publish it for all to use?
