California and Colorado have affirmative consent laws (the only two I’m aware of). Other states are presenting similar bills. What is the difference between “no means no” and affirmative consent?

“No means no” isn’t a law, it’s just a concept. If someone tells you “no” then you take it as as a firm “no.” You don’t treat it as “maybe” or that they want to do it but just need convincing.
“Affirmative consent” means unless they have explicitly consented to the act then you don’t have consent.
